You're right--I don't; it's quite garish and overdone for my tastes.

However that seems to be Saleen's venue...

Ehhh if the car can back it up, I think its ok to go a little contemporary and flashy. The side vents on the hood are way overdone though and look retarded. Take those vents out along with a few decals and aside from the front bumper this things not much more overdone than a New Edge GT. Its even got tiny side scoops compared to the huge New Edge ones.

For those who think its overdone(nothin wrong with that) do you look at say....Ferraris, porches, audis, etc and say the same thing?

The newer ones? Sure do--they all look like "transformers".

Keep in mind I'm old though, here's all that's needed for an automobile:

Exactly. Saleen would be considered RICE if it wasnt on a mustang.

The same vents and scoops and holes that EVERYONE makes fun of on hondas are present on Saleen body kits...

What I want to know is if those little flaps in the front hood scoop are actually functional like it looks like they are. You see they somewhat look like the old school 671 blower flaps, if you know what i mean?
