I would order one but thats me. Mustangs are expensive so you just as well get it the way you want it and that way you dont pay for extras you dont want.

Order it. You won't have any regrets that way. That's what I did last week. Got everything exactly the way I wanted it. The car should be here just in time for nicer weather.

Lot of good advice.
I think the best thing is to go to the dealer. Check out all the colors, test drive one and see where the chips fall.
Bottom line is like 1 Alibi said...

You work hard for your money, you deserve to get " everything " you want...place the order !!

This is my fourth new car that I've purchased and it's finally the exact color that I always wanted. The previous three were just impulse decisions that I ended up regretting. I would suck it up and order one. The worst part is the wait, but you'll be happier in the end.

Be sure to ask your dealer about his allocations for Mustangs. If he doesn't have any or has very few, it could delay your order.

Definitely go with the color you want, not just because its the only car there. You get the pick and choose the car you want, it doesn't get the pick you. You'll be happier in the long run!

I had a little Ranger in a color almost GHIG, can't remember the color name but it's like Calypso blue only in green. Kept that truck 16 years. Many compliments on the color. Even had people flag me down asking to sell it.
I'm older now.. I should stick with more subdued colors.
GHIG..Now you're talking! Order it just the way you want it, like I did.

Yeah, the least they could have done is put a running stang or something

I agree. Blue oval or something other than a big *** recaro logo.

IMO, they look fine with the RECARO logo.

No offense buddy. Just a matter of opinion I guess. If I buy a mustang I want my seats to say mustang or ford or cobra. Not a seat manufacturer. I really don't even like the brakes saying Brembo. But that's just me.

For the price of that option, you shouldn't have to settle for just "fine". IMO

Finally made it to the dealer lot. Looked at every color available, test drove a GT premium and sat in the remaining BOSS they had (grabber blue).
The GHIG was not the color I wanted, the Deep Impact Blue wasn't up to par either. It's down to Race Red or Silver Gray Metallic.

Now to talk about price. I'm not in the US at the moment so I'm working with the internet salesman. Before I go ordering..
When do we talk price? Before or after I order? When I ordered my Raptor I just dropped down my deposit and did the bickering after the truck arrived.
Finally settled on $500 over invoice.
What is the normal procedure??

Read this post, that explains what I do when ordering a new stang.

That is a nice color. The one in the dealer didn't look like that.
