    Traits of the original are the side scoops, turn-signal hood with twist-locks, upswept trunk spoiler, and prominent rectangular fog lights. All of these are missing here. Yet another swing-and-a-miss by Ford. Sincerely, a '68 CS owner.

    Please tell your friends at Ford to address 2 big issues: BBQ tick and the undercarriage issue. Who put those two intakes? right behind both front wheels. They fill with rocks and debris and are guaranteed to rust and rot. Very shoddy.

    Only thing I would do is make that black plastic part of the rear bumper that same color Rave Blue as up front on those "nostrils" 😂

      and offer an optional Rave Blue full body stripe on top
