Welcome to Stangnet.

I do believe that this is the first time I have ever seen that color.

You don't have enough mods to justify the expense of a 62mm throttle body, so I suggest you port the stock unit. I did mine a few months ago with excellent results:

its called legend lime (the inside of a lime) ford put out 6000 of those in 06, since i like being different, i had to have it when i saw it, and thankfully it was a one owner women, who bought it new and didnt kill it,,,,had 70k on it last summer when i got it. was pure stock. and im not a fan of gold, but, the rims went so well with the color,....i couldnt resist those either.....

im not a fan of gold, but, they went so well with the color of the car, and i like being different from all the others out there. they are senco. they came with lettering saying senco something, on each one, but i hated that, so i removed the lettering.....

Save the money on the throttle body and put it toward a custom dyno tune or 4.10 gears. Also, if you have an automatic transmission then drop the pan, drain the fluid, install a new filter and refill. Do not flush the transmission as this can cause problems on its own. The 5R55s in the 2005-2010 Mustangs are not all that reliable. Doing a pan drop every 30k miles will go a long way in not having a transmission failure as the miles rack up. Ignore Ford's statement that the fluid in the 5R55s lasts a "lifetime." No fluid lasts a lifetime. I mention this because it is something a lot of people ignore who have vehicles with this transmission. These transmissions in 3rd and 4th gen Explorers/Mountaineers are notorious for dying between 100k-150k miles if they are not maintained well.
