Personally would like Ford to make a new green that looks just as nice as Mopar (green with envy, sublime, or the new Green go) I think the metallic and the shade of green Mopar has is way nicer looking then the Fords GTHG.

I doubt that Ford would make the GHIG in the S550 models. They may, but I don't think so. What they should have done was keep the Competition Orange. Now that color looks KILLER on the S550.

I love the way my wife's GHiG convertible looks when I have my sunglasses on. I always wish it was a touch darker.

Yeah,...I love the way it changes a bit from the way it looks in the garage to in the sunlight. In the garage, it looks like a flat green and in the sun, the gold/yellow metallic flakes just shine and the color pops.

I would have opted for the GHI Green over the Race Red I ended up buying had it been available.

Race Red looks killer on the S550 Mustangs.

Anybody have an guesstimate to have my 15 painted GHIG would be over 8000 even 10000?

I'd go with a professional wrap. Paint protection plus you can always go back to original color!!

They make vinyl in literally any color these days. There's a few green wrapped S550s running around on Instagram, one or two that are pretty close to GHIG. Let me see if I can get a pic for you.

Another option would be Autoflex - the high end version of plastidip. It's pretty much as glossy as paint, still removable, and you can even buff/wax it!

^^This!!!
A wrap is WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY less expensive than painting the car GHIG. Plus, you get to go back to original if you wanted to.
Don't forget, you're paying for labor and paint. Both are VERY expensive. Your car would probably be in the shop for a week or 2 as well if you are going to paint. Assembly and disassembly of all panels, sanding, wet sanding, etc. It adds up bro.
