SLP Engineering of Michigan, not SLP Performance of Toms River, made the parts and shipped them to the plant like many other Tier 1 suppliers.


As for the OP, a few things:
The rendering your dad sent you is most likely wrong. They are taking information or just plain guessing on what the next Mustang will look like based of Ford's new "One Ford" global design language (aka the Aston face). That's it. At this point, no one outside of a few dozen design people and Ford executives know what the car looks like, and event then, that design isn't set in stone.
New Mustang isn't going to show it's face till January 2014, so there is a lot of time between now and then.
With that said, I like most of the design "ideas" that a few outlets have put out because 1) the One Ford face is beautiful, and 2) they will keep the heritage body cues that they have now and just integrate them into the new design theme.

Chevy is moving away from the dual-port grill and moving to a more "Camaro" like face for some of its vehicles. The new Impala and to a lesser extent, the Traverse, all wear this new face.
Things change, so don't let your panties get caught in a knot.

Al:

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I'm under the impression that SLP was the ones who designed the hoods, mods, etc for the car. Right?
