Help me decide on my paint scheme

The parts are in the mail and will be waiting for me when I get home now I just need to decide on the paint scheme I'm going to go with. I'm really stuck here so I would like your opinions. Thanks to Blazeone, hopefully he doesn't mind me using his car for my examples. (I know my photo editing skills aren't the best but hopefully you can get the idea)

This is what it would look like now with just having the parts installed.


Blackout out facia


Black out facia and powerdome


This is what I've done to the back so you get an idea how it will flow

Whatever we think is immaterial. If you wanted to put Lambo doors, spinners, and a Cobra-R spoiler on it... and we said no... you'd do it anyway because it's what you wanted.

I therefore put myself down for 'Just put on the parts.'

It's your Mustang. Enjoy it how you see fit!

/Btw, the above 'suggestions'? Please don't. Thanks.

And WTF is wrong with a Cobra R spoiler?

Thanks as I hadn't seen a Cobra R spoiler since I went to get the paper this morning. It's a beautiful thing...

Thumbs up

Option 3 for me.

Amazing how effective blacking out the lower facia is. It looks superb.

Yours and Blazone's are still up there as my favourite 2010+ Mustangs

Blackout the lower fascia and fog light holes as well. Do the sides of the hood, not the dome.

I vote for this as well. That would look pretty sweet.

I'm obviously far from a pro but I just used the lasso tool to highlight the areas I wanted black and then adjusted the color. To remove the original black I used the clone tool and just copied other parts of the hood. The photoshop thread has lots of good pointed in in from the pros.
