pistures don't seem to do the color justice.

Lokks like it was taken on a overcast day, maybe not the best to show the color. Thanks for the heads up though!

I think it's going to have to be one of those colors you just have to see in person. From all the pics I've seen it looks like Redfire.

I would agree if you could get them all polished but they are just painting grey what they have been painting silver all along.

It's probably the same as redfire without the metallic.

A true candy apple is a transparent red coat sprayed over a silver or gold base metallic, to give it the look of a real candy apple. When done right, candy apple is one of the best colors out.

Well it sure ain't that.
It wasn't worth getting rid of redfire for that.

the wheels will look good with the right color. Black, any of the silvers or greys, maybe white. Doesn't look good with red though.

Good point, I'll bet the Fanblades would look great in all Polish or better atleast.

looks good and the wheels look good too, and not sure but seems FORD went back to production numbers for 08 starting at 100001 like 05 and 06 so the 07's possibly are the only S197 that started at approximately 195,000.

PASS! Those wheels look bad. And when the paint chips off in a few years those wheels are going to look even worse.

-end of line-

It looks ok, but if I were going to get a new GT it would be Torch Red or Vista Blue, or white if it were a GT/CS. I prefer Redfire over Candy Apple any day. The wheels...I'll pass.
