Honestly, it’s a little too light/metallic for my taste.

But if OP likes it, then cool.

I’m pretty impressed by the salt concentration in this thread.

Would read again.

Kind of looks like power bait for Rainbow trout fishing. To each his own , more importantly the man made in life to be able to afford nice cars. Kudos to you.

Based on OP’s past history this car will be on the block again in the next 6 months to a year. Then the real dilemma kicks in, how large is the market for close to a decade old super car that has well documented reliability issues and maintenance costs associated with them in an economy that has flatlined. Furthermore how big is the market now that car is wrapped in a polarizing color.

We will see how this plays out. To each his own.

Thanks for caring about my finances. I guess i'll fire my CPA and just start taking financial advice from the SVT forum. That will save me 15-20k a year right there!

That's going to be a hit at the local 80's parties :)

I see why you did it now. The lines of the car ARE definitely more pronounced (in a good way). Really highlights the curves. I like it even if it’s not my cup of tea.

Edited to add, post some before pics please (if you don’t mind stirring the haterade again lol)

exactly...i love black but when I started seeing other colors in my car I realized many of the lines had been hidden. thank you!

Had the wrap not had the rainbow sheen, it would look great, IMO. Car is screaming for new wheels.

actually, even with the stock black paint, that car just needed some nice aggressive wheels. Those OEM “mustang gt” wheels don’t do it justice.

Make a video of it in motion. I'm thinking it looks much better this way.

OP, pics with the doors up? Agree on needing shiny wheels. Black or dark wheels never match with exterior like this. Kinda like putting black wheels on a mystichrome cobra. Those look atrocious.
