Hey everyone, I have a question. I'm getting a new Mustang, and cannot decide whether I want the Red Fire, or the Black. I'm getting the red leather interior, and was wondering if anyone has seen either the RedFire or the Black with the red interior in it. I'm considering putting the two white racing stripes on it. In your opinion, which would look better? Thanks alot.

You can't lose with either color. I'm not a big fan of the stripes though. I kinda think after a year or two, you'll grow weary of them.

The redfire is really beautiful. I like the contrast with the black grill and other black parts.

The black is really beautiful. I like how clean and sleek it looks.

The redfire will be easier to keep nice looking.

The black will look super sharp for about 20 minutes after detailing it.

My last car was black, it was such a pain. Every swirl, ding, and scratch stuck out like a sore thumb. You get a light coating of dust that you'd never notice on any other color but makes the black look like it's been abandoned.

Given the choice, I'd go with the redfire. Believe me, even if you're really into your car, you'll get tired of detailing it weekly and dusting it daily to keep it looking good.

P.S. The sonic blue looks pretty good too B)

My dad had a 86 GT he painted Midnight Metalic Blue and it was nice most of the time. He spent all day every sunday washing it. The hardest part to keep clean is the tailpipes. They were always covered in rubber. Kerosene works well for that by the way.

I have the Redfire with the red leather seats.

The color is awesome, it's still growing on me.

I tinted my windows 20% all the way around and it's killer. I goes well with the black grill and other trim.

Love my ride, but ya are going to have to make your own decision.

Either way you look at it the car is just bad hiney!

I have a black mustang with the red leather seats interior accents. I have gotten many comments on the red leather, all of them positive. The latest comment came from a girl outside the club last night, she stated "darn I love your car, that red leather is so sexy"!

Are you sure you weren't a little inebriated.....and what she really meant was she wanted to 'be sexy on your red leather'???

Oh yeah, back on topic. I'd get the black after inspecting both up close and personal.
