I like the changes to the headlamps and grille :)

That looks horrible. Removing the continuation of the fangs in the upper grill is just stupid, the thiker bodycolored bar look off. The headlight shape doesn't make sense too.

Ford actually sells you a more aggressive frontbumper that pretty much did the idea of him way better

Agreed, I think that the headlights and thicker bumper look disproportionate. Imo, his renderings have gone down hill, especially with the mustangs. No offense to anyone in this forum, but I think he is too stuck in the past too much. His rendering of the rear was just a carbon copy of the s550.

He's obsessed with late-00s/early-10s design philosophy that was built around the basic concepts of line flow and traditional proportions. Every time he tweaks a car, he looks at elements in isolation and his changes would never work on a 3D scale, or they disregard manufacturing limitations.

And whenever he does a before/after of his "suggested tweaks or improvements" it involves his after renderings having been dropped with the wheels pushed out.

Looks worse to me. The only part I like is the smaller black strip on the bottom of the upper grille...

Wow! He fixed the front end. The S650 has similar front end to the Honda CRV/Accord, but this fixes the issue. It looks a bit more like the S550, which is the better design.

Everyone can have an opinion even if it’s invalid 🙌🙌

my biggest gripe with him is that he completely leaves of things like practicality, airflow, downforce, etc. Concept Art of cars alwalys look a bit more impressive, since they focus just on the design. once the engineers are done, the final car might look a bit more boring, but we all want cars that are more than just a good design. People usally hate the sketch-like low windows of the Camaro, even if it's looking cool
