You probably wouldn't even lose money on it the way everything is right now. What's your chassis # and significance?
In my younger years, one of my favorite cars was the 959. I finally got one in the form of a GT350 with chassis number 0959 ;)

The Lightning looks a bit darker than the Liquid to me. That shot of the Lightning Shelby make it look kind of matte finish too, but it is really dirty. Heck, cleaned up, with a nice coat of wax, and in better lighting it could almost be the same car minus the spoilers and black roof. :D
I bet they're very similar. For one, Lightning Blue is dirty as hell and weather do not help. It looks pretty cloudy which can make the blue seem darker than it really is. Liquid on the other hand, its clean af and hit with a massive amount of light :cheers:

You don’t want to know

They won't be exactly the same, because Liquid Blue is a multi-stage paint that is very expensive and only makes sense for show cars. So, the color of Lightning Blue may be close, but the depth, sheen and the way it reflects light (and your perception of the color) will be different.

This picture makes me wonder if the currect track spoiler is the standard spoiler for the 2017 non R GT350. Hope thats the case.

I've never liked the purple aspect of DIB. Two days ago I saw a binder at a local dealer that had full page color sheets of the 2017 colors. Lightning Blue is a GORGEOUS color (BTW, it has no teal in it) and a 2017 Mustang in Lightning Blue will be my next car. I just put my Harley up for sale so I can order one as soon as it becomes available.

You wouldnt happen to know if every dealer has a binder like that? Standard dealer issue, or whatever its called?

Sorry I don't know. When I asked to see a color brochure I thought I was going to see one like was already posted here with several small snips of different colors on each page; when he pulled out that book I was like "oh yeah". The full page gave a better idea of the color. When I went to a different dealer to show my wife the next day, that dealer did not have it.

Thanks. Ive seen the small snips, and while I *THINK* LB will look awesome.... its just too small of a snip to actually really place it...

Make those panel gaps a lot closer and it would look awesome. Check out the difference in the show car...gaps are nearly non existing. The driver has massive gaps. QC!!!!
