I always get positive comments on the color. It seems like car people like it but normal people it isn't flashy so they just ignore it.

Rare? Or unpopular?
I guess I would say both. Guard is one of those colors that never looks the same way twice. It is constantly changing under light conditions. I find myself looking at my car all the time because of this. I personally like the way my car looks early in the morning. This pic was taking around 9:30 in the morning.

With this color, it is hard to identify it after it plows into innocent bystanders and then takes off...

-Cop: What color mustang was it?

-Bystander: it was gray. No, wait... Green? Or was it a washed out dirty black? I don't know..

-Cop: Okay ma'am thank you.

-Cop to dispatch: All units be on the lookout for an orange mustang that was just involved in a hit and run.

I didn't like that color the first few times I saw it. It has since grown on me. It was probably that way for a lot of people. I've only seen a handful on the road since 2015. My color (DIB) was all over the place. For a while, at least 50% of the cars I saw were DIB.

Guard does get a bit extra paint. its low sales figures were the reason of course. I absolutely love mine. Base GT pp with recaros. As mentioned earlier in the thread.. imo its the lightest s550 setup and has all the key stuff. 6 sp, pp, 5.0 cloth recaros. = win

I have lots of pics on IG @5abivt if you want to see different angles and stuff. Absolutely killer color i cant believe the attention it gets ! just cant wait to put my 3pc forged summer wheels on it and lower it some more

If you're looking for a used Guard wait 6 odd months till the Bullitt comes out and people will be trading up their Guards.

Actually, I should be picking this one up at the end of the week if all goes accordingly.

Out the door, it's below NADA/KBB. GT 6MT, Premium, Performance Package, optional subwoofer as well. Ceramic interior though ( would have loved saddle, since the Miata I'm selling is saddle on green )

The worst is it has a front license plate so, I'll have to pick up some plugs - or, hope the top plate of the frame was never drilled into the bumper.

" Your honor, this ticket says black Mustang. The officer obviously pulled over the wrong one, since mine is green."
" CASE DISMISSED!"
He did me a solid with failure to abide by traffic control device.

It's easy to excees surface street speeds in these cars as is, let alone when you have to duece.
