Judging by the stain on the passenger seat I'd say someone REALLY liked the car.

I'll have mine tinted over with a Windshield Glare Strip Anyway. So it doesn't matter to me. Might paint it Black before tinting it though so the Tint doesn't make it stand out more.

Exactly what I do to. All my cars get a tint strip anyway. I usually do 20% tint up there and may consider limo 5% this time but either way the pony or Ford logo is pretty much un noticeable with either shade of tint.

Ruby red is a gorgeous color...especially when it is outside in direct sunlight. It was my second color choice as I always felt red is a classic mustang color. I'm with the OP in that I prefer darker colors...especially black, guard, and magnetic. Once I saw Guard in person it was a done deal, but every now and then I see a beautiful ruby red and wonder if I made the right choice.

i was thinking of a darker colour for a while and then i realised how much upkeep those colours require. my old FPV GT was silhouette (black with a slight blue tint) and it was super nice after a detail wax for a few days. living where i am now will not allow me to have this colour, basically i live on a dirt road :shrug:
that beautiful ruby red should be a lot more forgiving in regards to upkeep and looking nice a lot more often.

Yes guard = better than anything!

1993 Ford Mustang GT. Blue Oval on Grille.

1993 Ford Mustang GT. Blue Oval on Grille.

And on the rear hatch. Looked fine. The 93 cobra grille with the mini pony was the best look though. A popular cosmetic mod that I had was the cobra grille insertt kit which was paintable and took just a few minutes to install, as long as you didn't mind cutting out that blue oval from the plastic bumper.

Yeah. I was just pointing out one of many, many, examples where the Mustang has, in fact, had a Ford logo on it. There's been this myth, that some people like to use to get upset about, that Mustangs have only ever had ponies on them, and it's just not true.

 

[SeaStang]

Yeah.. No... It doesn't look too fine to me anyway. That Ford logo is a dud and has no place on a Mustang. There is a reason they removed it for the last generation. Blue oval logo = stodgy old Ford econobox. Thats honestly the impression a lot of the younger set like me have. The Mustang logos are so well known they need no blue oval. It isnt a Ford first, its always a Mustang first. The very fact that it has no make on the rear end (Ford) not even a model name (Mustang) and just says GT and yet every single person you meet virtually will say "nice Mustang" (not Nice Ford) should tell you the power of the Mustang brand

I'm not arguing that it necessarily should be on the car, but that it has been on the car. Look earlier in the thread, somebody says that a Ford logo has never appeared on the exterior of a Mustang. It's not true. (Even with the make on the rear end:

)

Oh yes , Ruby Red has the " Look back after you park it" effect. I still think to myself every time, "Damn that's a good looking car". I would describe the paint as Fluid...I remember a particular time, going to the store right after I washed mine. I looked back and all I saw was a vivid red that emanated from the car. The way the sun hit it just eliminated everything from view except beautiful, sparkling red. Maybe reactive is a good word. Either way, breathtaking when clean and waxed.

But my eyes now only look for the imperfections that come from being a daily driver, and it's a never ending battle against careless people and stupid random debris on the highway. That's why I'm switching to silver...I care too much about small scratches and I'd rather just enjoy the car itself!

Who knows maybe I'll stay with red..I've got another month to figure it out!

That was Me.

Mustangs had Ford Logos On the Outside from 1979-2004. It was Corporate Policy that All Ford Vehicles have a Blue Oval on the Trunk from 1989-2004.

As a follow-up comment, You can barely see the Ford logo on the window from the outside, and I noticed it from the inside only after I thought about the posts on the site.

I certainly have no issue with :ford: being on the vehicle, and Team Mustang has placed it on the care where its barely noticeable. Even if did it certainly wouldn't stop me from buying the car.

 

[TampaBear67]

I agree, you really don't even know it's there. I looked specifically because I had seen both the Pony and Ford Oval in Pictures. The Average Person will never even notice it.
