@ Rebel and Sandman, do you like the grabber blue stripes on your seats with your Kona blue cars? I'm thinking of ordering mine that way but wasn't sure if the grabber blue would look out of place?

Buy the one you like best. I've got a grabber blue GT on order. Should be here in 2 or 3 weeks. I've heard that grabber blue is probably not going to be around for 2012 so it was now or never. I've liked grabber blue since the original BOSS 429's so now was the time to make it happen.

Kona Blue looks really purple on the cars I've seen. Kona photographs beautifully but it just didn't work for me in person.

White is by far the easiest color to keep looking clean.

My previous 5.0 was white. Very easy to take care of, not as hot, seemed impervious to water spots and such. It looked clean even when dirty. I think that the Kona Blue is going to be harder to maintain. To me my white cars extrerior was very low maintenance compared to other colors, but you already know that.

I've had whit cars before also. To me, any slightest bit of dirt on them and the dirt stands out like a sore thumb.

But you are right: White absorbs less light energy and thus less heat.

Ill be at Five Star Ford this weekend for a legit wash and detail. When i received the car this past weekend its was pouring down rain so needless to say it didnt stay clean. While im waiting ill ask parts if they get a hold of one and ill update what i find for how much.

Nice car BTW Kona was my second choice, but they didnt have any on the lot so i went with sterling grey.

^^sterling grey. I love that color, it will work well with stripes; just does not stand out as well as white does.

either way, congrats on the 5.0!

That is one great looking car! Is that the V6? Isn't that the GT bumper? Can you get a V6 to look like that?
