Exterior color / interior color

I narrowered it down to these 4.

I really don't want a Black car bc I just don't have the time that it properly deserves to keep it looking pristine. The GB stands out and really grabs your attention(no pun intended). This color looks great in person and pics don't do it justice.

That pic is one reson I am considering the PW / Red. I think the Kona / Red is out bc not matter how I see Kona it just doesn't look right for me. I loved it when the '10 debuted but after seeing it in person, not so much.

Really leaning towards the PW bc my dad had a White 35th GT and it really looked good when all nice and clean.

I hate decisions.

I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that but your the one who is going to have to live with the color you pick. Choose the color 'you' like.

I know what your saying. I have been a part of this forum long enough to know that it is not what others think it is what you think. That being said I have personally narrowed it down to

White / red or GB / GB accents.

The 1st choice is just classic mustang right there but the GB really stands out, thats what I like about it. I ahve a couple months before I order it so hopefully I can make a decision.

Parden the pun but the Black / Red just looks Synister.

Thanks everyone for voting.

Some cars don't lend themselves to White, but this Mustang, like the original, seems to look very good in White, and the current Red interior is much improved over past years. My current '11 with the Red Candy Metallic would have looked perfect with the Red interior, but that was a no go with the California Special.

Red Candy/Brick Red is a no-go for any 2011, although it was available in 2010. Like you, I think it looks great!

Black/red is a fine combo... that's what I voted for. I don't dig on dead animals though so it'd better be some nice pleather before I drop my money on it.

I'm loving the new cloth for the 10+ cars and it's more than good enough but I the red interior cars are so cool.

Don't worry....Very little of these seats are real leather. Just the center inserts from what I can tell.. The rest is highly embossed pleather.

On the color combo's, you potentially limit your audience on resale if you go with red...I did White on red when I ordered a Corvette years ago. It was rare enough to catch a lot of attention and re-selling the car was not too tough so maybe not a factor with a retro/enthusiast buyer. Personally the Red wheel on the Mustang is a turn-off for me. I'd have to change that to black. It just looks awkward. (IMO!)

I didn't realize that. The whole "leather seats" look and feel like the real thing to me... it speaks volumes for modern vinyl interiors!!

Good point about the resale issues. I suspect that with a car like the Vette, you're more likely to find someone who wants a bold color combination. I always drool over white Vettes with red interior!

I choose White/Red. It's my second choice. Sadly, yet again...

Still no Emberglo(/Parchment)

I voted black w/ red because it looks so evil. White w/ red is nice, too- that's the color combo on my vette.

It does look evil. I am torn between 1,2, and 4 Kona just doesn't do it for me.

It looks like I am getting a 2012 so I will wait and see what color changes occur.

White/red but I also don't like the red wheel. Wish the dash pad was red.

Just a bit of advice... if you don't like the idea of how much effort it takes to keep a black car clean... don't waste your time with kona, either. Mine has been dubbed the Dirty ***** because it's never clean.

Oh I know. I have a hard enough time keeping my Alloy GT clean.

I think I will get the GB that way when the 50th comes out depending on what special package, if any, Ford does I will go with White / Red with my 50th anniversary GT. I think it is a classic combo and will be really good on a 50th car.

But I will probably change my mind when I have to go and order.
