Blue/Black.... I don't think people realize this because there aren't many 19's out there, but the wheels I ordered(Carbon flash) and rally strips are both black metallic. The metal flake in both, along with the flake in the blue, looks awesome glistening in the sun and ties the look of the car together really well. I did not know my wheels were actually black metallic until I saw them in person. BTW...I opted to take my chances with the Po Po and not have my front license plate bracket mounted. It really changes the look of the front end...

That’s not a fake grill.

Although it looks dorky, the panel/grill directs the incoming air exactly where the engineers want it to go for aero reasons. If left wide open, all that high-pressure air going into the engine compartment would cause real handling problems. The air needs to flow around the body, not through it, with just enough getting in for engine-cooling requirements.

Of course, a completely redesigned front end would have been better, but federal bumper standards and lighting requirements - plus Ford’s bean counters - made that a non-starter. For them, a plastic block-off plate was the only reasonable (economical) solution.

I can't really give a good opinion yet. Haven't driven it much... only 222 miles so far, and I'm taking it easy with break in. It shifts quick and very smooth. I've done a few 3-4k pulls and it feels very strong! Just figured out how to get it to do the backfire pop thru the exhaust.... love that sound!! Borla Atak axle back going on Tuesday....

The GT350 looks way better than the 19SS to me. Not even close. These are all opinions anyhow of course. No one is right or wrong. No matter how ugly, someone will always migrate to certian car.
If you pay attention, that GT350 has a lot of resemblance to the old Cobra front ends. Guess they are mud suckers too. I would own either one of those bottom feeders and be happy to do so.

I don't see as much Cobra as i do a Fiesta but that's just me . I been trying to figure out for 45 years what people see in a Mustang , At the same time i have friends that feel the same way about Camaros , in a strange way it's a perfect relationship and there is never a boring moment when we get together. No one has to like the 2019 SS but that car had to happen and the changes had to be made and it will sell every bit as good as the 6 gens before it , previous buyers may leave it and new buyers will want it ,but change and pushing performance forward is good especially in a shrinking market .

Haha, you finally got it! Congrats, it looks really good! Riverside blue is one of the better colors, both an eye popping exciting color yet allows you to remain a bit more low profile. Btw, I've been following the order thread and thought you would be the first to get it delivered like everyone else, lol. The wait is over now, have fun with it.

This is the typical reaction to any restyled car ime, over time people will change their minds and start to like it more.

That said, imo it could be better and I wish they stayed away from the whole blacked out front bumper look, which btw, I believe was spawned by Mitsu EVO.

People see what they see right or wrong. I see a modern version of the fish face the Cobra had ,and to me it works. I just dont feel the Mustang anymore. Im waiting to see the next GT500.
