Need Help Choosing Color!!
My wife and I are about to purchase a Mustang GT Vert. We have decided on the interior color and top color but we cannot decide on the exterior. We are going with black interior with the interior upgrade package and black top. The colors we are trying to pick between for the exterior are Tungsten Grey and Windveil Blue. The car will also have the 18" wheels. I plan on adding some mods before as soon as we get it, just can't decide what color. The car is for my wife but I do plan on driving every now and then.

RE: Need Help Choosing Color!!
Windveil Blue is a wimpy color, just like Legend Lime. If you're interested in a blue car, at least get Vista Blue, which is more appropriate for the car. Tungsten Grey isn't bad and would be my choice if you're only considering the two.
Personally, I think Mustang Convertibles should be bright Red or Yellow.
So, do you want a wimpy color that belongs on a Buick, or a color that's appropriate for a Mustang convertible?

I have a red vette, so red is out. We don't want 2 cars the same color. I originally wanted black but she doesn't want black for a daily driver. Those colors are my only 2 color options she will go with.

I agree that the Windveil blue is not as bold as the Vista blue, but Im glad I chose the windveil. A friend of mine has the Vista and it does look great, about 5% of the time. It is just too hard to keep clean, and I dont have hours free every weekend to wash and wax. But even then, its dirty by Tuesday.
So for practical reasons, the color is one thing that I comprimised on. However, it turns out that I really like the Windviel blue and it gets compliments. It looks great in the sun, kind of a silver blue tone. The color hides swirls, dust, light dirt, very well, & I wash it about 2 times a month. And the color is uniquely retro mustang.
Anyway, you have been warned about the Vista blue (or the black). They look great in the showroom, but after that - I hope you REALLY enjoy car washing.
Either way - its a great car, youll love it.

I don't know why you would want people you don't even know to pick a color of a car you are going to buy for you... J/K... no really I couldn't make up my mind either.. I wanted a red one ( which is what I got ) but I thought it would be a ticket getter ( non yet .. crossing fingers ) I think they all look cool..IMO.. plus as somebody has already pointed out.. the keeping it clean part.. I have to wash mine all the time ( it is even a garage car.. but still gets dirty ) I would just put them side by side and go with my gut ...
