350Z Blue would be sweet. But Kevin. Black racing stripes? Maybe...But I think that if I went with the Saleen kit, it has the black stripes up the sides. I might ask someone to do a rough photoshop of what that will look like. Yeah, definitely no black. Thanks for the input! Anyone have an orange stang? I have seen some nice blue. I have seen a lot of nice white previously. Anyone got a nice hot, burnt orange stang?

I like burnt orange. I was thinking of painting mine that or sunset orange. But I have a 96.
they have the same body.

i would go with black for the black on black look.

cant go wrong with red either.

Like they are saying... either black, or IMO a dark gray with some silver pearl airbrushed ghost graphics...

And with the blue--- i went blue with mine, it gets old. I see sooooo many blue stangs around now its not funny, but mine sticks out due to some extras in the paint (ghost pony on the 1/4 panels, shaved door handles, and xenon/saleen body kit)... Up next-- hugger orange w/ silver pearl metallic, ghost checkered tear scheme w/ ripples on the sides and wrapped around the hatch and muscle black paint on the cowl (just the cowl not the whole hood), removin the kit.....

I do not think I could afford a paint job like that. Especially here in Cali, would cost me more than the car. Blue is common, and believe it or not, Burnt Orange is becoming a little popular, albeit still very far and few between. I live in a small town, and a few guys already have painted their cars a Burnt Orange. Still, if it was blue, it does not stand out. If it were Burnt Orange...even if there are a few others too, it would stick way out. I like being different, but I do not know if I want to stick out THAT much...eesh. This is like thinking of a name for a baby! Stuck with it for life...

What about silver? they have a silver called Liquid Metallic Silver--- Looks really bright in the light, and gray at night time..... Silver on Foxes are HAWT...

As for sticking out, i know what ya mean, Sonic blue + silver pearl metallic--- Yeah cops love me.

Yeah, hot on Foxes...but I no longer have a fox. Liquid Metallic Silver...It would still probably look sweet one mine tho. Got a pic NOS? A guy here locally has a sonic blue stang, all the cops know him, he cant even sell the car because people know he races it and the cops pull him over all the time. Lol. Sucks to live in a small city. Thats why, I dont street race mine. Well...I am off to work. see ya all laterz.

The 350Z, is the blue I was referring to. That color is sweet!!

I wasn't aware you were going to go w/ the Saleen kit. If that is the case, no blackstripes would be needed w/ burnt orange. ;-) I've seen manyPLAIN burnt orange mustangs and they do not look all that great. Unless the car has nice exterior mods and/or a racing stipe.

Good luck w/ your choice!

That 350Z blue looked great, but I dont know if it would look that great with your tail lights still painted black. I think with your taillights re-painted that blue or a silver that really pops would look great.

GTFO... you want a Saleen with burnt orange.... I just deleted the pics I took of my friend's old turbo Saleen painted burnt orange..... [:@][:@]

IMO 350z Blue with extra clear FTMFW.. 'specially here in Cali. Id do it, but my car has a theme of black.

My truck
