Cool, not the biggest fan of Grabber, but interested to see what Lightning looks like compared to DIB.

Nice, solved it out :)

Curious on the difference of lighting blue!
These all looked shopped. ;)

Thanks Jarstang!:thumbsup:

Interesting question is why are these mules out...just to test the paint in the elements? Or are they hiding something else underneath?!?!?

Perhaps Ford want the free publicity for the new colours ;)

I'm guessing it must be testing the paint in the elements, why else would they be so dirty? Guessing they purposely dirtied it up or something. I mean, i haven't washed my black Mustang in probably a month at least at this point and it isn't that bad!

I thought grabber blue would be my favorite but now I am thinking the Lightning Blue.

If the Lightning Blue had any pearl/color shift in it, or was really close to the GT350R show car blue from a year ago....

That Lightning Blue will be a nice understated color similar to the grey.

i was hoping that lightning blue was going to be a lighter shade. That will be my next GT500 color (if they offer it)

So how is the top on that vert so clean while the rest of it is so dirty?

Wow. Not really digging the grabber blue at all. I thought I'd like it too.
For me, Grabber Blue is a color that only looks nice when it is modded up.

Throw on some black wheels, lower and maybe do a few more body mods to it and I can dig it.

But yeah, stock it is a bit blech for me.

I just went to the UK Ford site for the new Mustang at:

http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/newmustang

There is a button that lets you pick a color. I picked Lightning Blue and was treated to this beautiful blue, and not that ugly teal color that was showing up earlier in the thread. It's looking more and more like that wasn't accurate at all.
I tried it too, and they all seem legit. No orange in sight as others claimed, and Grabber Blue... is... well... Grabber Blue ( at least in my eyes. )

Unfortunately to me Lightning Blue is that weird teal colour, as least to my eyes.

Struggling to see a difference between the two whites, apart from Oxford being a bit brighter/cleaner?

with all these people hating on Grabber Blue with a dirty car -- the last gen doesn't look all that awesome when it's filthy, but not that crappy.

It's like the mule we're seeing isn't even clearcoated at all.

Because wet & dirty tire spay from the road doesn't get high enough to dirty the top of the car.
