Shadow Black - Mistake or Not

[DocGT]

My opinion is that usually the first choice is the correct one , you choose black for a reason and now the car is delayed for production and it's playing mind tricks on you .
Some of the reason you post why you " think " you should or might change I'm sure Ford engineers have already played with those what ifs .
I'm not a fan of red cars , one of my lady friends constantly says only weird strange men own red cars it kinda has some logic plus when I turn a corner seeing a tow truck and yep it's a red mustang on it I'm glad I don't do red .
I have built modified cars all my life and usually I regret not keeping my first design desision at least for a moment , besides you can always do a wrap . Keep the black it's beautiful you know it because you wanted it . Don't let the space of time mess your mind up ! This is my opinion based on personal experience .

Thanks man. Great advice. That black is going to look sinister and I can't wait to see it shine. Does anyone know a good detailer in NE-Ohio who would be a good go-to for paint correction and protection?

Here's another opinion for you. I would have to do black because I honestly can't stand the look of the front end of the GT500 with the center bumper piece black on its own. Extremely tacky to me. I much prefer the look of the GT350 and getting the GT500 black retains some of that look, with the increased performance of course of the GT500. Disclaimer, lol- My baby:

Although a bastard to keep clean (and I vowed never to own a black car again), a no-stripe GT500 in Shadow Black would be absolutely stunning.

And really the only way one would ever be a sleeper by any stretch of the imagination.

Oh my, what a beautiful 350. I agree that while you may lose some of the contrast with a Shadow Black Gt500, IMO the black bar in the middle of the grille looks like the plastic black bar that they put on the original SRT8 Charger (below).

Nothing beats a up close view of a clean black car! I said multiple times I'll never buy another black car and I even made it clear that I wasn't a fan of the new GT500 at first. I ate crow before and it didn't kill me, maybe I'll have to try it again!

Ryan: That is a GORGEOUS vehicle and I'm no fan of the color (any longer,) but that photo takes my breath away it looks SO good.

Thanks, more crow! It's actually starting to taste good!

I currently have an order for a shadow black GT500, which is delayed until likely March or April. Unfortunately, this gives me a lot of time to see a lot of photos and videos of different colors, and I am considering a change of color. The race red and performance blue are the choices I may switch to.

I would love to get an in person look at a black GT500, but I’m not sure if there’s anyway to do that before mine comes in. I’m sure that every single one of these is going to look great, and it doesn’t seem like there are a lot of confirmed shadow black builds,

i’m just worried that the contrast and details that they designed may get lost in the black on black color scheme.

Any advice?

Today is the 1st day ive ever actually seen a GT500. I saw white/blk stripes 1st.. thought i made the wrong decision on colors ( Iconic) then saw red hot mettalic, thought maybe i COULD actually own red.. then saw black. oh my lord it looks so sinister in person.. and finally saw my silver, and knew i picked properly.

my point being, this car, in person, has no bad colors. and black, as much as i love it, i cant own again, HOWEVER, it is beautiful. If you want black, get the black. you chose it over the rest for whatever reason, you will not be disappointed

I have a black '13 GT500 Convert...with matte black stripes....when clean it looks awesome...keeping it clean is near impossible . … not only do you need to keep it clean but if you dont clean it carefully it shows every missed spot, streak or any other washing imperfection. I ordered a PB 2020 GT 500 with white stripes....sorry black !

Appreciate your feedback on the different color of GT500's that you saw today!

Right now I am on the fence about changing my present color combination over to a Shadow Black GT500 and will take the next few weeks to decide if I actually will pull the trigger on another Shadow Black Mustang.

Thanks again!

After watching this video, hard to think it would be a mistake. Absolutely gorgeous.

Agreed. Tint the windows and roll.

 

[Strokerswild]

Yeah, after watching that video I think I have a new favorite color scheme for this car....

1. #1 priority- learn how to wash that car right. Learn the differences in microfiber cloths and then how not to scratch it while washing or DRYING it. The art of no pressure while caring (wiping) your ride.

2. Locally there is a black GT350 with matte black stripes accented with blue border stripes that pops like crazy on all black.

Mine is race red, black stripes with white accents, black tri-bar stripes on lower side panels.
