the cherry red wasnt my first color (not sure on the offical color spec name) but it wasnt in my top 3 for colors.

I orginally wanted yellow then red then black

Now that I think about it I wish I had saleen Rainbow actually but I am really happy with the cherry red. this color looks SO SO much better with the saleen body kit then the cherry red in a stock Mustang

anyways are you happy with the color you have and what would you change it too?

I think Be looks good too

I wasn't really looking for a particular color, but I love the color I have. White. Both of my Mustangs so far have been white and I like it. If I could change the color, Jazzer, don't hate me, but black would be nice, however, my first color change choice would Beryllium. I've always loved that color on Saleens.

haha....yeah, well in my own defense, my new plan is to only buy white Mustangs/Saleens the rest of my life since the first 2 I owned were white. Although, you never know what the future holds.....

I have a Beryllium convertible and can't believe how much attention it draws. Wouldn't want any other color.

I love being black....I mean having a black car

Chididdy, do you have any idea how good your car would look with black stripes and wheels??!! Vapor gray with black accents would look incredible

I have Black and when they are cleaned up and polished, fantastic color and I must like black as my last Saleen was black and the GT before that was Black. My F150 4x4 is Black and my Avalanche is black. However I will say that I love the  Beryllium color and I like the White with Blue Accents. I would probably look at White next time,  If I was to buy an 06-08 Body style then I might have to look at the Red that Red has I love his car. Of Course Speedlab Yellow is pretty sweet as well.

Man I am all over the place today..I must have ADD today.. Sorry.

If I had to do it again, I'd be tempted to not go for the Lizstick Red and spend the money on an Extreme upgrade.

Don't get me wrong: the candy apple paint is stunning, and doubtless a factor in many of my car show wins. But the non-touchupability of the paint terrifies me more and more...

I'm curious who told you you can't touch up Lizstick, I've had a couple of spots touched up and you can't even tell that they were.
