I'm personally not a fan of the color. I mean, don't feel bad, it's not your fault as you didn't paint the car that color, but Ford made some pretty bad color choices with some Mustang models across the years.

I've seen 1 stang that color with 18" Chrome Torque Thrust staggered, and it was beautiful. The color on the New Edges that is kind of a lighter blue looks really pretty when completed by the right add-ons.

to be honest theres nothing you could say or do that would make me feel bad about the color, its when almost every girl laughs at the color of the car, that makes me feel like ****
i want to get it painted either candy apple red or mach 1 blue

The blue on the Mach 1s looks great, but Fire Red is one of the best colors for a Mustang, other than yellow:D, IMO.

They made that color on the fox bodies right? It looked good on them...But with a black top I can imagine the car would look much better, try to get someone to photoshop it for you.

i did it in paint once and it looked really good, its just that i cant afford to put a new top on it

paint it black. I love black cars.

Anway, I don't think its that bad. put a spoiler on it, some dark tint, smoked headlights, lowering springs, and it would look pretty mean. A black top would be nifty too, and then you wouln't have to repaint it, it would be about the same, and you'd have a more custom look. I'd also get the 98 taillights, the vert ones, but thats just me. i've never been a fan of the horizontal ones.

i thought about black, but then i leaned up against my friends black eclipse and decided the georgia sun and black cars dont mix
my friend said he could hear my skin sizzle when it hit the car

I live in tx witha black car, and its really not that bad. The interior makes the most difference. Depending on what color your interior is, like mine is grey cloth, so nothing in my interior gets hot except for the dash, but I just roll the windows down and get driving ASAP and after a minute all the heat is gone. Plus black just looks sexy on a mustang.

Im not understanding.... You want to paint it another color??? Yet you cant afford a black top? A decent paint job should cost you more then $600! So I would think the top would be cheaper! I like the color just not the white top... Put a black top on and it will make the world of difference.... I think either way you decide to go the white top has to go!

psh, more than 600...

a decent paint job is gonna run you well over a grand. If I was going to repaint my car, I'd make sure it was done well, and a nice one costs you about 2 g's. With 2 g's, you could do so much to that car that the blue would be awesome.

It cost me $190 to paint just my spoiler...... Im not saying I got a good deal or a bad deal but my point is, it was just the spoiler so a the whole car I couldnt even imagine

exactly, a few g's for a nice paint job.

There's nothing wrong with the colour of your car, but I can understand you wanting to repaint it--azure blue would look great..It would just look a lot better if your vert top matched your wheels.
