94 Mustang Concept v.2.0

[city_ofthe_south]

Bigger head lights minus billet rings, larger grille opening with a general face lift all around that area, better hood lines - smoother and less harshly curved. Perspective was screwing up a lot of the looks with the left side head light so I tucked it back into the buckets where it should have been. There are some other subtle refinements ... hope you guys like and thanks to everyone for the help figuring this thing out. Keep picking at it and eventually we'll have it perfected. Thanks again, crits encouraged.

Great job on the updates cant fault it now. A slight refinement would be to maybe make the door handle just a little smaller as it seems to be breaking the flow of the car.

DOH! ... down with door handles damnit! It is supposed to be the factory unit, and with me tossing this idea between OE and one-off I thought that having a door handle was necessary for production reasons, even if it is cooler to just shave them off. I'm not saying it couldn't be done (ref to original Viper which had no door handles on the outside OR a way to open the door from the outside if Dodge had put in say .... side glass) but the actuator for opening a door from the outside is heavier than a door handle and weight would be one of my concerns for this car whether it was OE or one-off.

i really really like the look of the rear quarter panel. it reminds me more of the 65/66 cars rather than the 67 which is what the newer mustangs look like to me.

personally i still think the headlights look a bit small... and the way that the hood and fenders drop down kinda exagerates it I guess. i think maybe if it was a more gradual line it might look a little more in proportion?

EDIT: ok, well i thought about it and imagined what it would look like, and i think maybe it would make the car look too pointy, unless the lights were also physically larger. and then if you did that, i think it would probably look a whole lot like that 2009 camaro rendering done a little while ago.

(and sorry if my criticism is hard to understand... i dont really know the terminology)

oh and also, maybe if the drving lights in the bumper were more sunked in, or just holes (to cool the front brakes or something.)... just a thought! i personally never liked the look of lots of lights up front.

yeah after some very brief measuring of the lights and wheels for proportion purposes, I'm pretty sure the lights aren't going to get any bigger unless someone votes for drop lights clamped to the hood. If that's cool then I'm OK with what isn't cool.

Colter,

The Mustang is looking great. I think, if it looks good to you then I would do no more. Can't please "everyone." Have to set some limits...otherwise it will not look like what you intended.

it's true and people have nothing to compare to because this isn't something that's been seen before, that's why artists design cars I guess. There is a shot, in an old issue of PHR I think, of a 65 or 66 (don't remember) that had everything taken out of a 99+ cobra sitting side by side for a direct front shot. Maybe I'll post it so people can see. The dimensions aren't that different from 94-98 to 99-04 body Mustangs so I think it would still be a pretty valid comparison.
