I traded in m '13 Focus ST in Tangerine Scream for a '16 EB Mustang in Competition Orange. No fear of color here.
I'm keeping the body clean, since the style on its own is so strong.
Lots of complements on the color.

under the hood, a different story

That shade of purple is a little light for a guy imo, but really is a pretty perfect shade for a girl's car.

I like mine in Black. It has a plain Jane kinda look IMO. Mine is a daily driver and I like that it don't stand out in a parking lot. My car will probably stay Stock. I like the quiet exhaust and it's definitely fast enough to get in trouble. Already got a ticket

I went the opposite route.... exhaust is already obnoxious being 3" so anonymity was already gone. Picking her up today, as the small details (mirrors, vents, etc.) needed to be finished up.

My wife would offer herself to you to drive that car.

Stay away. :cheers:

She is a bit brighter outside....

That's a relief. I was gonna worry about a guy choosing that color. But you go!

There's enough room between complete anonymity and eyeball-searing "look at me" to fit a pretty capable muscle car. Even for exhaust mods there's room between stock and obnoxious/ear-bleeding.

You just have to understand that the saying "if some's good, more's better, and too much is just enough" doesn't know what it's talking about. Too much is simply too much, and even more is not always better. Wanting to be noticed less is kind of the 'sleeper' mentality, promising less than what can be delivered.

I am not a flashy, "look at me" kind of guy... I bought a 2016 DIB because I fell in love with the color... I almost bought ruby red. I have been trying to stay under the radar for a month now.... but it is nearly impossible. The first day I drove it to one of my client sites I had 4 people gathered around my work area within a half hour of arriving wanted to know more about the car and giving me tons of compliments. I am a self employed consultant and so I visit a lot of different businesses.....every time I take it out somehow they do the math in the parking lot and figure out it is my ride and want to know more. I have kids waving and looking at it while driving down the street and a mom in a van next to me pointing at it and having her kids look.... Just read the "breaking necks" forum on this site for story after story... It doesn't matter what color, v8, v6, ecoboost, coupe or convertible... this car gets attention because it just looks killer.

Yup:amen:

I just got done reading the Global Paint thread and it got me wondering...

I am leaning more and more towards getting a Mustang, again, and was fantasizing about how to wrap the hood, stripes etc. Then I thought. Maybe having a solid color is the better way to go... Plan Jane on the exterior.

The reason being that if/when I am "THAT guy", whoever I piss off won't be able to really pick me out of a so called line some other day.

My current yellow Focus ST... REALLY stands out :bolt:

Or am I the only one who thinks like this?

I don't worry to much about that because if you really pissed someone off regardless you'd be looking to make sure no ones coming for you.


Don't limit what you want because of others.

Hate to be the dumb guy here but who are you afraid of? If the police don't care then there is no problem. I had a guy yesterday flip me off for no reason so I pulled up next to him, flip off back while grinning and revved my engine through the entire light. What's he gonna do? Be a jackass?

There are some crazy a-holes out there. Checkout youtube ;)

Had a kia soul rental for a weekend and people dont notice you at all in it. I never got cut off or ran off the road so damn often. Back in the stang and quite the opposite. We humans can be odd.

Do an Urban Camo wrap.

Wow what kind of car is that? It's hard to see!
