OK, OK I know this post is useless with out Pics but I do not own a digital camera. I will borrow my grandparents for the weekend so shots will go up on Sunday. So anyway back to my excitement my car just came in yesterday! I am so excited (picking her up on Saturday) . She was filthy but beautiful . I will say this though Vista Blue in dark lighting looks nothing like the color you have all seen so far. I went at 7:00 last night to see the color and it was DARK navy blue, no purple but it looks like true blue at night. Seen it again this morning on my way to work with some sun on it still looked a lot darker then any of the pictures we have seen. The color truly has some serious pop to it in the sunlight it's like a blue tungsten(without any purple or anything else for that matter) it's just blue.I think the reason for this is digital cameras tend to lighten a picture up and computer monitors do the same, so it's like a double lightening, though Sonic Blue is much darker in person then in the pics I have seen on this site. now for the bad news the pony tape on my passengers side has to marks where the tape was nicked off :bang: , told my salesman he said they can fix it but How? I don't want them to paint it for two reasons. 1. no one can paint a stright line, 2. the one nicked area is on the top of the thin part of the pony tape. So that is a bit of a let down for me that the car was not perfect. Still the excitement has got the better of me (couldn't sleep this morning). I will post pics of the color both at night and in the morning as soon as I can.

 

Congrats but you lost me. The stripes on the side are vinyl, not paint. Why do you think they need to paint the stripes?

 

Can't wait to see pictures. I am sure they will get the tape nick taken care of to your satisfaction. Enjoy that ride, I am envious.

 

I say paint because I don't know how else they will/should fix vinal tape, how would you fix it? Thanks everyone!

 

The would remove the stripe using a hair dryer and install a new stripe. It is vinyl, not paint. Easy to fix.

 

I did not know they could get another stripe. Still I guess that makes sense. I am going to call and make sure they don't paint it (since I have this bad feeling that they will.

 

Hey Tom,

How did the Pony Package look on it? I know you were really back and forth on that for a while. Congrats and look forward to those pics!

 

Pony package looked great no worries here after I turned on the fogs it was over my heart melted. The grill is seriously nice when you stand back the bigger honeycombs will not bother anyone and somehow even when you do see it just fits, too me it now looks like the other V6's are missing something (IMO). Just great.

 

yea how did the pony package look? lol i finally popped the hood on the V6 yesterday and was like..argh...wish i made even 4k a year more:\ GT

 

Above your post ^^^^^ lies the answers you seek.

Congrats on the vista blue stang. i ordered vista blue too without seeing it in person, only a few pictures. sounds like a nice color since blue is my favorite anyway.

Sorry to hear that Jeff , hope it comes in soon. I and the other fine members of this site will do our best to keep you occupied till it gets here. Like I said it is a really different blue but I wanted a blue sports car so thats that. It really looks alot like this when it's not in the sun,
