There is a new rear spoiler that will be available with an optional Gurney flap after launch:
There is an optimized grille closeout:
Airflow from under the front of the car along the body sides is managed:

The 2019 Mustang Shelby GT350 will be built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan, for early 2019 deliveries.
