+1 on that man the KR looks orgasmic...but a second choice of mine would be black with matte silver stripes, that looks sick!

You can do many things to make your silver car pop. My favorite paint is two tone.

I like the yellow jacket style with a black and yellow combo and would probably go with white stripes on red if you were to pick those colors imo> GL and keep up updated.

By suggdesting that color, it seems clear you don't understand that it costs $5000 *minimum* to repaint a Mustang correctly, right from the cheapest shop to the most expensive it's a similar minimum. Unless you go with Macco which will make your paint last 2 years instead of 12, and according to their new painting practices I've seen them be careless enough not to cover the muffler and actually paint the tip yellow like the car in question, my friend's miata. In the Macco case it still cost $800.

So do you have the money to play?

I've seen a White S197 with red stripes and it didnt look all that great. I think Red with white stripes is nice but white with red just dosent pull it off. Just some food for thought. The other suggestions are a step in the right direction. But if you plan on totally repainting your car, might as well do something that no one else has, some unique colours, you know..
