GUARD S550 MUSTANG Thread

[JoeDogInKC]

On my 2013, I get around 20MPG average between city and highway driving. That results in right around 300 miles at ~14 gallons with 2 gallons to spare (reserve). I do like to have my fair share of fun when I'm out driving though.

If you really baby it, you can get into the mid-300's without much issue and still have the 2 gallons to spare.

Guard is without a doubt a much more interesting color than plain jane Magnetic for example, but I was really hoping the color would capture some of that retro magic. Its on notice for me until I see it in person, Black or DIB until then

Magnetic really isn't that plain...in the different lights it looks anywhere from a bright silver to a very very dark gunmetal.

Magnetic also will do very well in Europe where many euro higher end cars have that shade as a primary color.

I can't tell if this is was touched up or not but the guy is a photographer and says it was for Automobile mag.

That paint looks "splotchy" (not uniform) to me, particularly in the middle of the hood. I didn't notice that in earlier pictures and was wondering if this is due to the image processing here, or if Guard is like that in some light. Anyone know?

Magnetic will do well everywhere being that grays make up the largest portion of cars on the road, but shiny or deep its still gray to me IMO. Guard FTW as far as that palette is concerned

My 350Z has a 20 gallon tank, which is awesome because I do a lot of driving and don't need to hit the station as often (I go 400 miles between fill-ups with 3 gallons to spare).

I wish it was 20 gallons.

This color green reminds me of a pine tree.

I'm glad I'm going with magnetic.....not that I have anything against pine trees, hahaha

I agree, Magnetic is/was my second choice until I saw Guard. I saw magnetic on a 15 SD and it pops. Sharp color and much better than Sterling Grey but Guard is my color. The more people that switch from Guard to Magnetic the happier I am

I get you on that man. I had originally wanted to get my 2012 GT in Sterling Grey but according to the dealer, SG wasn't offered for the MY2012. Didn't wanna get into a whole debate over it but at least now my 2015 S550 will be in Magnetic, which looks a tad better than SG.

I look at some of the pictures in this thread, and it's like... there's no way in the world that's the same color.
