Well, personally, I'd go Emberglo. But you probably won't do that.

2011 Lava Red then. That's a cool color. I'd totally go with that. And since it's nearly black anyway, it'll be sweet.

Except... can you get it now? Seems that was a Japanese Quake casualty...

Vista Blue from the 06-10 mustangs was always an awesome color! A burnt orange color would be B.A.

I would have to say yea. Most of the time no, but the murdered out look doesn't look quite as good with the headlights all chromes out, if you don't like those you know the smoked o.e.m lights are sweet

Go back to factory color. If you don't your door jams and under the hood will be different colors. And I think that looks tacky...
