Does the rear bumper cover say Saleen or Mustang. On a real Saleen.

They say Saleen, have three slots across the bottom, and one is pictured below. Note the S281 badging in place of the GT.

I know they say that the camera adds 10lbs... but geez, that car's got a ghetto booty on it.... I've seen them in person before, this one just looks like it needs to be on Jenny Craig... nice car though

If that is a real Saleen there they didn't do a very good job of fitting the rear spoiler on it - the left side is higher than the right...

It's way exaggerated in that picture. I think it has something to do with the angle, and why the bumper looks so big.

That would be car # 322, and the guy scanned his window sticker. That would be a lot of special effort for a fake. Check out his old speedster too.

Well, exaggerated or not, look above each taillight. Looks like crap to me.

It's like looking at Jimmy Durante's nose through a wide angle lens. That has to be like a 18mm lens shot. Quite a bit of distortion.

I have more but they are on my computer at home and the connection is so slow compared to my work I haven't messed with posting them.

Blue, that's a good looking car. I'm partial to the torq thrusts.
