Tuning firm Streethunter Designs has been officially told to knock it off with the knock-offs of FoMoCo’s hottest pony car
- A YouTuber with a tuning firm ran afoul of Ford’s legal team with his newest body kit
- The automaker alleges the kit turns the donor car into a direct copy of its Mustang GTD
- Ford’s lawyers managed to get SEMA to ban the Streethunter Mustang from the show
Would lawyers at Ford have gotten their knickers in a knot if Hunt’s car was fire-engine red? Probably — but the mimicry would have at least been a bit less obvious.
As for Streethunter Designs, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity. With this fracas, they arguably got their kit in front of more eyes than ever would have seen it whilst tucked away in a corner booth at the sprawling event that is SEMA.
