That's a bit too low for me, but damn beautiful color, I knew I should've gone that route. My 93 LX was a similar color (current electric red) I miss that color ingot is boring.

My first Mustang was a '91 LX 5.0 with the "Wild Strawberry" Red paint. I loved that car and put 175 K on her without touching the motor or anything else except for a frozen shifter cable on the AOD at about 10 below zero. It still amazes me that the cable was the one and only repair in 175 thousand miles that wasn't an ordinary wear item. (I did have to rebuild the AOD at about 115K but I consider that acceptable, as I didn't baby that car one bit, actually beat on it on a regular basis). No fuel pump, water pump, alternator, starter, NOTHING. It sold me for life on Mustangs as the best bang for the buck available anywhere, and I've owned at least 18 to 20 different cars and trucks since my 1970 Monte Carlo in 1976.

Saw one in person today. I'm still holding onto Guard being best, but you Ruby Red folks made a good choice. :cheers:

Coyote Red in sport mode

Latest shots, what a beast w/3.55:1 because the tires are not wide enough for "proper grip", lol. Paddle shifters are a Big thing to an "old school" guy in Texas.

Those tires look like they have plenty of grip to me. :shrug:

Any Ruby Red with Black(or even carbon fiber finish) top & spoiler(plasti dip or wrap)? Also anyone painted the 17 inch premium wheel black?

I got a wrap done for mirrors, roof & Factory spoiler, here are some pics. Hope it helps anyone who is thinking of doing something similar

Here is a pic of my new Ruby Red GT!

Pic's not super clear but it shows my Ruby Red with the rear louvers I installed a while back.

I'm having Steeda's Pro Action (non-adjustable) shocks, struts, and billet aluminum rear shock mounts installed next week. :cheers:
