I love the DIBlue, but I'm leaning more toward the reds or black with red stripes. But I need to see the reds in person.

You'll love the color in person!
Especially in the sunlight!

It ain't Orange in real life, .... that may be gold metalflake reflection.

I owned a Red candy 2010 GT and I can tell you at no time had it ever looked orange regardless of the lighting. It's an OK color but it lacks any wow factor

That's a good looking color for a GT500.

I'd like to see it with black stripes. that could be a killer combo.

I didn't think it had any orange qualities but those pictures sure seem to have some orange to them.

Would you say Race Red has more wow factor?

Like to see it with Silver or White for comparison.

Read somewhere that it is a current Ford color...on a Focus or Fiesta. Is that accurate?

It's on the Taurus for sure. My wife's car is a red candy SHO. This isnt her car but it is the same car.

yes, race red says "Here I am look at me". Red Candy is the prowler that sneaks past without much notice. Nothing wrong with that at all.

My Red Candy was the first and probably last Mustang in any shade of red I will ever own. Just not a fan of the red, black, Kona/Vista colored cars personally.

I wonder if you can get the top stripes without the side stripes? I like the flat black top stripes but like the clean look of the sides without stripes. I guess you can always take them off the side it it is all or none.
