HEY RICVA05...

Sorry to bug you, but could you cut that sig picture down to an 800pix across... it causes us to have to move the scroll bar back and forth to read the posts.

THANKS...

Notice, I drive a Torch Red Stang!... Obvoiusly my opinion would be slighted!

Who in their right mind would buy a torch red vehicle. I couldn't think of a worse color to put on a car.

You REALLY need to see Torch Red in person to decide if you like it or not. It has a certain tone to it that people will either like or hate. I brought home a Torch Red coupe as a tester, and pulled it along side my red '66 coupe (which is more blood red), and I did not like the Torch Red next to it. I'm not left-brain oriented, but the color pallet did not look right in my opinion. I suggest you find a Torch Red Mustang and look at it in person to decide for yourself.

Well, obviously I'm a bit biased, but I prefer the Redfire. It has a "deeper" quality to it that I just felt was lacking in the Torch Red. Not saying that the Torch Red is a bad color, but I've driven a very similar red color for the last 12 years and something about the Torch didn't do it for me in person. To each their own. I do think the Torch would look better striped than the Redfire though, so that may be a consideration for you.

Where did you get those wheels? I kinda like them... I am doubtful about how black wheels would look on a silver car though...

Got them from O.E. Wheel Distributors in Florida. They were damn cheap too ( less than $500 shipped for all 4 ). Ford offers the same wheel for a mere $1100.
