GUARD S550 MUSTANG Thread

[Spoolingitup]

This color always surprises me on how different it looks in the sun and at angles. Hands down my favorite!

Those are great pix @Spoolingitup !

I've kinda gone off the deep end with this whole track build thing... Oh well, it's a blast to drive.

I've been debating a livery wrap for the car and have even designed a few concepts already. When on-track during the green months I often get the "I didn't see you until..." comments.

The thought process is higher visibility might be safer. Open to thoughts and opinions.

Here is today’s upgrade pic. I’ve been working on it for a bit and just finished up yesterday.

That might be a wise move Todd. Top Australian racing driver Frank Matich once had his Matich SR3 painted a similar color to Guard. He later changed the color of his car to orange, because he was tired of back-markers complaining that they didn’t see him coming:

What about just putting Aston Martin type yellow/lime highlights on your car?

That Matich and the Aston...

I'll post up the concepts here and on IG and collect thoughts as to the final direction. I think there's a few members here that might appreciate what I been working on. Stay tuned!

Just joined the forum, had to be sure to say hello to my fellow Guardsmen!

Anyone else go back and forth with feelings on our guard metallic cars? It looks awesome and very unique in the sun but on cloudy days it just looks gray/magnetic metallic. Still a great color but I do wish there was more green tint in the paint to appear green even on those overcast days. Thoughts?

When it looks like this in the sun - who cares about the clouds?

Was thinking of buying a Guard Stang and turning it into a Bullitt tribute but then I read about the special model Ford were going to release and so placed my order

and waited.

I recently add the Cervini's GT500 hood to my car. See this thread for more details if you're interested.

I love that hood. It looks great on your car!

I was thinking about doing that (even the 500 front end too) but I went in a different direction. Mostly due to all the carbon on my car.

At a benefit event today. It was cloudy so it looked magnetic but all good.
