The 18" fanblades look good with the brushed finish.

I'm still debating whether the 18s are worth the premium $ up front, and then later when it comes time to buy new tires?

What's the advantage of the 18s, other than personal taste, over the 17" wheel selection?

 

Why is it that some Sonic blue owners feel compelled to say their color is better; and they don't like Vista Blue?

You don't see Satin Silver or Mineral Grey owners putting down Tungsten.

It's as if they feel threatened by Vista Blue. The colors are pretty similiar (closer than any other two S197 colors so far).



Thanks for the pictures Amy. Glad to finally see Vista blue on a stang.

 

Good observation AFBLUE. I also wonder why all the Bullit fans out there find the need to put down the fanblades??? They call them too "blingy" :scratch: . I dont see a really thick 5 spoke wheel as flashy at all.

 

I was thinking the same two things. Given that few of us have seen them in person, both the colours and the rims, i find it hard believe that people have formed such harsh opinions! to me, the sonic and vista look TRULY similar, except for the metallic flake. also, people are going all gaga for those konig 'beyonds' which are essentailly a rehash of the fanblades, but yet everyone is crapping on the fanblades! i dunno, i think the bullits are 'old news', and aren't my fav on the '05s, but really, why all the hostility?

 

I really can't tell from thsoe pics the difference between my sonic and that vista .. but whatever ... I liek them both. Blue is my favorite color so its cool with me.

I do like that V6 front more than this years'.

The fanblades are something I kinda like. I wish I had money to get em.

 

great job Amy!

 

That blue looks awesome! I love the wheels, too. Thanks, Amy!

 

Thanks for the pics Amy!

I'm not sure if I like the new pony package grill on the V6 or not?

I don't think I like the Fan blades either. The ones on the show Mustangs looked a lot better IMO.

I like my American Racing Casinos better!

 

i like the vista...looks better on the car than on an example sheet

 

Did I dream it or do you get some minor suspension tweaking by upgrading to 18" ?

 

In person... you can really tell the difference between Vista and Sonic blue. Vista does appear to be closer to Atlantic Blue.. kind of a flat blue color.

I'll scope around tomorrow and see if I can relocate that WB and MG mule that had a shiner version of the fan blade rims.

 

the V6 looks awful with them little fog lams, and the GT rims well they should have kept the bullits becuase the ones on that GT looks like k-mart rims....

 

hot

 

Unlike many rims out there that are too skinny and don't have enough "bulk" to them, the fanblades fit the hefty design of the mustang. I would like to see more shots of a polished fanblade.

In addition, I think there are polished ones coming as well.....

Like from this autoshow:

 

Well I always wanted Tungsten but after seeing the pics I wish I would have held out for Vista blue. The Tungsten looks so dull compared to the show pics.

 

The smaller fogs on the Pony Package are pretty cool........But I'm not that crazy about the corral and bar that connects it to the fogs. I bet that Vista will be a real popular color.

 

Great job, Amy!!! Wish I could've attended this years' cruise, had to work!! And yes, its hot up here in MI!! You guys had me fooled last summer!!! John

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Almost looks like mineral gray.

 

Oh yah, thanks Amy!! You effort is always appreciated You're making the Detroit Bureau of TMS very proud, LOL.

I'd love to see more pics if anyone goes.

 

I'll be snapping a bunch of pics at the Woodward Dream Cruise.. the 3rd weekend of August. I'm parking in the Mustang Alley section of it and you can bet I'll have a crapload of Stang pics. Plus.. they're supposed to have a Concept Mustang Unveiling.. no clue what that'll be yet.
