Talking Orange Coilover Covers

I recently traded my 2012 V6 Premium, for a 2011 5.0 w. 40,000 miles on it, and it was never titled (Mfg Plated car used for training when 5.0's came out) Serial # 902

So I ordered some Boss 302 COC's and took the stock COC's and had them painted in 8 coats of HG orange.



If you can't see that image use this link

Appears to be Ingot Silver....I like the orange. Been thinking about that color as accent under the hood of mt GT/CS.

I would guess they are, but considering it is a premium Auto, heated leather, shaker 500, Ford Certified, 6yr/100,000 Bumper to Bumper Warranty, 1st owner titled (me) new tires, brake pads, rotors, all fluids changed, and a service history record from FMC that barely fits in a 3 ring 3" binder... all for $19,700 out the door, plus a check back for my 2012 V6 trade of $2200 and change. It was a steal.

Plus the dealer through in a valet key, because I always buy a Valet key in case I lock the keys in the car (happens often) so i keep the valet in my wallet (which is always on my person)

I love it, I never would have bought a used Mustang but considering it's history and the fact it was never titled so registered as new... I couldn't pass it up.

plus it is Sterling Grey Metallic a color I have wanted for years but could never find with the options I wanted.

Plus, I also have a 2012 Black GT base model Automatic with 5369 miles on it that is coming up on 1 year old September 22nd

I do have a question for the folks following this thread... What color would you do the Plenum cover. I was thinking orange to match but after looking it at it would be too much orange, so I thought about Grabber Blue or the blue from the Boss 302 COC's


Oh yeah, PIC of my 2012




And this was the WHITE V6 I traded for the 2011 SGM.

I added the Boss 302 stripes w/o Boss nomenclature

SGM as in Sterling Grey Metallic? cuz that pony looks black to me...

If it is black, nice choice on the orange, it really stands out.
May i suggest that you keep the plenum cover black and accent it with orange inserts? Also add black letter inserts to the coil covers for a nice eye-popping negative effect

You can get the inserts here:
