I just ordered an R LB w/White Stripes! I love this color.
Holy smokes (no pun intended :D)! They gave you an R allocation as replacement for your yellow GT350?!?!?

Well done, sir! :ford:

I'm picking mine up tomorrow and it is LB with white stripes.. I'll take some pictures and post them

I agree that I like the color in person a lot more than the pictures
Congrats,

Did you buy it in the bay area?

Yup, I bought it from ford store morgan hill. I really like them because they don't mark up any of their cars and even sold all of their R's at msrp. Unfortunately the list for an R was very long when I ordered my 350 so that wasn't an option.

I was on their waitlist a few months back, didnt hear back from them. When did you get on the waitlist there?

May 15' for me. I'm guessing if I followed up or went into the store and talked to the sales manager it might have helped a bit more.

Just can't get enuff!
Here are some pictures next to a DIB. Lightning blue is best seen in person, but hopefully you can get an idea of the difference.

Love it! At the present time, it's probably the closest we can get from the factory to the classic yet sporty & stunning Acapulco Blue. :thumbsup:

Wow. Both colors of blue look awesome...and I like each color for different reasons.

Thanks for the great pics! :ford:
