how about a factory repaint to wild strawberry? your car is already the color you want, it's just faded and someone covered half of it with fugly stripes...

I never really liked the stripes either its too ricey for my taste, i just want a nice clean fox.

I do like wild strawberry but it has a pinkish tint to it.

Your safest bet is to never drive a high torque, rwd car in the snow - or if the streets are wet and the temperature is 36* or less.

It doesn't matter how good you are or how careful you drive, it's way too easy to lose control of the rear end.

Another plus about repainting it the factory color is that you only have to paint the exterior.

I would stick with the strawberry red, I had a notch the same color and i loved it. If anything the strawberry red with a little metal flake, or some black accents somewhere on the body.

+2 for the stock color. If you have to change it, I vote Matador.

I agree, Wild Strawberry is a little pinkish. Go with a new color.

i see what you mean about a little pinkish hue, in FULL summer sun you could see a hint of pink, but any other time it looks deep maroon

It's a lighter red than the color your looking for, but I LOVE my Rio Red, (Both stangs are now this color!!!) If I could figure out how to attach the link to my garage, I would, but check out the pics of the 'stangs in there.(Especially the '93, it's fresh paint.) Just throwin that out there, along with a shamless plug for my garage pics Hope Ya' find the one for you!!! Sorry to hear about the accident, It's really easy to lose it on snow/ ice with these little beasts. Living with colorado winters and driving 5.0 foxes is challenging at best, the fox was all I had for a few years, but if you can master that, you can handle just about anything in the snow!!!

Shots are beautiful man. I have to say that color is one of the most coveted colors and I would hate to see it go...
