That red=cop magnet myth is such a ridiculous idea. I used to be a cop and I can tell you, the color of the car has absolutely zero to do with whether or not were going to pull it over. Zero. I've never sat there thinking "I can't wait until I see a red mustang because I'm going to stop that punk!" No way. And this was when I had a silver 07 GT so I had no bias towards a color.
Things that will get you pulled over, speeding, having headlights, tag lights, tail lights out, driving a beat up piece of junk down the road with no license plate, one headlight, and swerving all over the road in an area known for meth labs. Get where I'm going with this? Look like trouble, cause trouble, be a moron, you'll get pulled over.
State troopers who have nothing better to do may see a mustang/camaro/vette and look a little harder to get you speeding, maybe and that's a big maybe. I guarantee you your everyday cop has better stuff to do than stop nice people in their brand new mustang just for going down the road in a red car. A stop is just a tool to get into the car to search for other things most of the time unless there's an obvious traffic safety issue at hand. Frankly i couldn't care less if a car rolls through a stop sign. Everyone does it. However if its a car that looks like it might yield something better, I'd definitely stop. If not, whatever. Profiling (not to be confused with racial profiling) is a crucial and common practice in law enforcement. Its not illegal, its not underhanded, its good police work. Now that my lesson in law enforcement is over, I hope you enjoy your new mustang lol.

Yeah I mean I didn't care what color it is or even what kind of car it is honestly. It was a totally individualized case by case basis decision for every single car/traffic stop. Not to say some cop out there wouldn't target sports cars more but every single cop I ever worked with either in my agency or all of the others that we interacted with didn't care whatsoever what kind of car it was or what color it was. Not one bit.

got to agree that i am not a fan of an massively created Marine logo Mustang. but I agree with Laserred38 that the rear emblem look badazz. I am a Army guy so I might be Bias. LOL. Even so, I would not create a Army car unless I am in Recruiting. Just my preference and I respect yours. Look forward to seeing how you finish it. Maybe it's the potential difference in Reds.

I took those right after getting it from the dealership. Used with 3400 miles on it, and the track key installed. About 26 lousy miles on it and it has been under cover ever since.....Until next month

More pictures will come this next month when I get the MRT slats and splitter on, along with some quarter window covers and an SHR Fuel tank cover.
I have been saving for 4 months for them and looking forward to it

Holy Cow! You are right. I never noticed that before. That picture mirrored for some reason.

Funny, right?! On a serious note, I think the 2012 Boss has such a special look, more so than any other in the Mustang lineup of that time. Enjoy it.
