Ford blocks body kit clone of Mustang GTD from SEMA show

Ford has blocked Streethunter Designs from displaying a body kit at the SEMA show that would make a regular Mustang resemble the high-performance Mustang GTD. This action comes as Ford aims to protect its intellectual property rights. The Mustang GTD features a supercharged V8 engine and advanced design elements, making it a desirable model. The body kit would allow fans to achieve a similar look at a lower cost, but Ford argues the two models are too similar. Ford emphasized the importance of protecting the value and exclusivity of the Mustang GTD. The company has invested heavily in its design and engineering, leading to this legal action against the body kit.
