Picking a color is driving my crazy!

I'm between white with black stripes, kona blue no stripes, and lava red no stripes.

I REALLY like the white, but I don't wanna regret my decision! Argh!

White with the black stripes and some black rims would look very good. With white you can do a lot combos. Go with your first extinct, don't doubt yourself. This is going to be your car, get what you want the most.

I'm not a black rim fan, but it will have the gunmetal Brembo wheels on it. And it will be getting 35% tint so that should help set off the white.

I'm almost 99% on white, but some of the metallics look so pretty. The gt I drove yesterday was white as well, and looked awesome.

White with gunmetal will just look as good. It looks alot like black.

Check this out, when I saw this combo for this shelby conversion on a white car it looked amazing.

I just love how the underside of the pedestal spoiler is black. That sets it off for me.

I’ve owned a black car and a dark blue car. They sure looked great…until you drove them once. Sometimes if it was windy I couldn’t even get it in the garage after washing it in the driveway before it started to look dusty. I think the white with the black plastic trim all around the bottom of the car will make for the easiest to maintain car.

And congrats on graduation and the car! My first new car was a ’92 GT.

That's what I get with my current bonneville. It's a dark metallic gray, and gets really dirty quickly. My moms white lexus does not get nearly as dirty.

Which is why I will be going with white with black or dark accents. Should balance the car out really well.


And thanks! It'll be nice to finally own my own car.

I would go with white with black combo. I have a black 02 gt and even though itnlooks beautiful clean, its a PITA to keep her clean
Sometimes i regret buyin a used black car. Ive seen anton of white s197's with black rims, rear decklid blackout panel, blacked out windows and lights with black stripes. Gotta be the sickest mustang ive seen in a while

When I graduated with an engineering degree (and a job) back in 1986, I bought a brand-new 1986 CRX-Si in black. $10,650, plus TTL, which was about 2/5 of my annual salary, and my payments were $215/month.

drove my first new 5.0, a 2011 gt MT this past Friday, the salesman was a car guy and let me do my thing. I was impressed. It had 3.73 gears and was at 1800 RPM at 60, I am going to go with 3.55. on the one i am going to order, 2012 Lava Red/black. On the interstate coming off the on ramp 0-80 was pretty quick and pulling strong when I let up.. This will be my first New Mustang, I have wanted a new one since I was 19 in 1964, finally I decided this is the year....

i am still up in the air on what type of stripes to put on it, solid white needs something added to break it up a bit.

That's why I went over the top. The dark brembos and window tint will set off the white.

Now I just need to occupy the next 2 Months of waiting by buying some mods.

Flip key already ordered. Next up is hood struts, oil catch can, and Barton shifter and bracket.

From what I've seen, most people prefer the MRT's for no-drill sets, and redlines for drilling required sets.

I'll be going with the MRT's.
