it all depends on the photographer. taking shots at the right angle, during sunrise or sunset is best to take pics, etc, etc, etc.

yes i understand that.........

but i have seen this in person. i am wondering if it is something to do with a "good" mold? or if the year has something to do with it? i have seen this in the case of lx notch mustangs as well. their are some that seem to be sharper, or have cleaner lines or something...... again i have seen this in person, side by side cars.

the hawks picture looks kind of blurry and it has a flat rather than aftermarket cowl hood. The cowl also has a black stripe... otherwise, i don't see any major differences. Paint quality and color, in addition to lighting can do alot to accentuate or hide body lines. It isn't that some parts were made with sharper lines than others.

stance, wheels and quality paint prep (and body work) make all the difference
