Please no grabber blue... there is nothing hot about a baby blue muscle car. I dont care if its a gt500 or not, a baby blue skittle is flat out ugly no matter how you disguise it. Now if you were a chick it might be a different story.

Wait, the poll was orange by more than 2-1, you pick blue? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm feeling used. It seems that Mr. "NOT-OrangeMustangGT" thinks so little of our opinion that once he gets a clear indication of what we think, he chooses the EXACT OPPOSITE!

I'm hurt to think that people think so lowly of my taste...

But, truth be told, I was dreaming about a new Grabber Blue GT500 right up until I saw the Orange Boss 302, so I like Grabber blue too! You should have painted it mauve. That's a color I really hate!

All joking aside--Looks awsome!

^disagree.

You need the 03/04cobra/export mirrors to pull off that look. I personally think our stock mirrors would make it look cheap in that color.

But we all have opinions!

It might look good. If he wanted to you can run a clean tape line and only do part of it body color.

I just did mine body color and I like it. I'd get better pics, but it's been raining non stop (no exaggeration) since last Friday.

Different strokes/different folks

Would probably be great to me if I had never seen the 03/04/export mirror. Anything else looks like an attempt to mimic...especially the tape/body line.

I'd love the Cobra style mirrors. Not so much for the body color thing, but for the folding capability. I got used to replacing them early on when my Mom had a 96 and she kept tagging the garage wall when parking the car. My 94 had a broken one when I bought it too so after a while searching out mirrors gets old.

If the damn Cobra ones werent so expensive on the other hand....
