Black or Windveil Blue? I'm pretty torn about it. Black is classic, timeless. But Windveil Blue is really, really nice...very eye-catching if you ask me.

If I go black, I'll probably get the white side panel stripe. If I go Windveil, I'll possibly go with the pear gold side panel stripe.

Just looking for opinions. What do you guys think?

Do you like to wash your car a lot? If yes then go black. Im not a fan of WB at all, so id still say go black and have someone else wash it for you

Do not get black. Every little scratch will show. You have to constantly wash the car to keep it looking decent.

I ordered the blue. It's an easy color to maintain, but if you really want to see the difference, go check out black vehicles in any parking lot. Look at the minor scratches and how much they show because of the color. See how a little dust makes the car look dirty. Then go find some light blue cars and see if these things show up the same way.

Black is not a colour. Neither is white, gray, brown. They are shades. I have windveil blue with a dark charcoal interior. The car gets lots of looks.

Last vehicle was black and everything showed up on. Water spots, dust, and scratches. Go with the blue.

I would go with Windveil because it really shows the amazing lines on the stang. imo, no other color does it as good as windveil, and the way the shades change with Windveil throughout the day is kick ****!

Sonic blue was my first choice, and just barely beat out windveil blue. I really liked the way windveil looked sort of silvery... However, I liked sonic just a wee bit better.

I have the WB with the pearl strip, it gets looks wherever I go. In my opinion the black is the worst color out there. Ever see a black 05 coming at you? It looks like a blob with four wheels, you can't see ANY body lines of the car. Heck even the grille is basically hidden by the black body. ANY color other than black.

wb for sure, its IMO the most beautiful color of them all, but i went silver, cuz it suits me better, the black doesnt define the car at all, and its a pain to keep clean, my brother has a black explorer sport trac, it loooks like a mess since he doesnt wash it everyweek

I changed my order. I had the WB, but now I'm getting the lime. I saw one and I thought the color would fade so much nicer than the blue. Besides, I think the lime is such a "girl" color and maybe I'll have a better chance of getting the car sooner.

I got the black and had the dealer take the white side stripes off. Everyone that has seen the car raves about it. I love it.

My '05 is Black and I love it. Yes you have to clean it more often, but it's worth it. It looks evil and menacing which I like and you can see the cool body lines despite what other people say. To me the Windveil Blue is too girly. Also, the surrounds of the headlights are black so it blends in nicely.

Loving my 05 Black Mustang! If you get back, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

But in all honesty, you will love your stang no matter what color it is!!!

The first time I laid eyes on a black/black/red vert that was it! For ages I've said I'd never own a black car because they're too hard to keep clean, but this thing worked it's way under my skin and I couldn't shake it loose I garage it at work and home and it really hasn't been bad to keep clean. I don't mind washing my cars anyway, it's kind of fun. The '05 stangs in black look unbelievable when they're clean, real headturners. If you park outside all the time I wouldn't do it because it gets a lot hotter than other colors and will need waxing more often because of it. It will also show EVERY ding like a giant wart on someone's nose, so you have to be committed to parking waaaaay out by yourself when you go anywhere.
