I've decided when the time is right and my SVT Focus is paid off and or I can absorb the upside down value and trade the SVTF in the next vehicle I will purchase is a 2005-2009 Mustang GT convertible. As much as I'd want an '03-04 Terminator Cobra that isn't going to happen. And anyway you can throw on a Roushcharger on an S197 5th gen Mustang GT and have all the Terminator's power and noise. That's what I wanted anyway, the power and more importantly the noise. I just cannot decide on color or even whether or not to get a California Special convertible for the extra $$. The GT500 is out because I don't like it, the Roush is out because it's bloody expensive and the V6 is out because it isn't a V8. I prefer the Premium model with the Shaker audio and the "Bullitt" wheels but won't settle on them exclusively.

This thread is mainly meant to "poll" to see what colors the automotive enthusiasts--you guys--are preferring for the Mustang GT. Please, no suggesting any other type of car, no arguing over Mustang vs Camaro vs blah blah blah and etc. My mind is made up! Just need opinions on colors! Please post pictures of the color(s) you prefer for reference. :D

Here are the official factory colors available for the GT's by year:

Note: Some of these colors were not available on the convertibles. I do not know which...

================

So far my #1 & #2 preferences are these two...

Black on black w/black top:

16959761070.284122581.IM1.16.565x421_A.565x376.jpg


Yellow on black w/black top:

17040675360.284473557.IM1.13.565x421_A.565x377.jpg


GO!

A friend of mine had an 2005 gt conv. that was black with a black top and a red leather interior. Its not as gaudy as you might think.

I'm a big fan of Red/Tan and Blue/Tan combos. Gray and black interiors, they're too boring. Otherwise, I like that crazy yellow they put on the later models. Kinda orangey, kinda yellow. Although, I think it really only looks good on the coupe. That's just me.

I'm liking that black and red trimmed interior!

I'm not a fan of tan tops to be honest, the only one I'd like is the maroon with the tan top. Oh, and that's the grabber orange you're thinking of not yellow. Not available in the convertible. Otherwise I'd go for that.
