I ordered a 2011 Mustang GT today

I ordered a 2011 Mustang GT today (non-leather) with 3.73 gears, manual, and Brembo brakes.  I decided to go with the Yellow Blaze Metallic Tri-Coat color and I think I will have a large center stripe painted on; kind of like the 1970 Mach 1 or Boss 302.  Now I just have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to come in.

I'm pretty excited.

I bet you're like a kid at Christmas Eve, waiting for that car.

Make sure you do the Boss 302 stripes right ....

I am not a big fan of yellow. I don't like any yellow that looks like a lemon or school bus yellow. If that yellow looks as good as the picture indicates then it's not bad at all. Perhaps because it looks like a few shades lighter than Grabber Orange. I always liked the Grabber Orange and that color was among my top picks when I went Mustang shopping.

Anyway, you cannot go wrong with black stripes on a vivid color like Blaze Yellow.

As much as I used to really love over the roof stripes, they seem so cliche' now and too common of a sight. I like the Boss 302 black stripes and accent look. Someone did up a Grabber Blue just right...

Over the top stripes would not look good with a glass roof ;)

The blue one does look very nice! except I would like to have more of the hood black, all the way to the front.

I have been pricing painted stripes and maybe it won't happen?  I have been getting bids from $2,000 to $3,500 and I just don't know if this is worth it?  I do like the over the top center.  But on the side stripe I was think to start it right below the 5.0 and go down and back, like the race car above.

Awesome, I think I'd do Boss stripes also. I'm definitely getting one of the V6s when I get out of school for a dd. 305hp and 31mpgs.

The boss is a very cool car.  Looks like the shaker hood scoop really works.

I found a company that will sell me the over the top stripes in 3M tape for $150 plus shipping.  I'm working with them to see if they can make me the side stripes like the one on the blue boss Mustang.  Only they will start right below the 5.0 go down and back.  I know that tape is not as good or as cool but the price is right and I can change my mind if I do not like it.

The yellow is kind of a gamble since I have not seen one in person yet.  I guess it is a color changing color depending on the light and angle.  I will go from bright yellow to gold to orange.  The Fiesta already have this color there there are none near me.  Every picture I see of them look to be a different color.  I  hope my gamble pays off.

I think this link will show this color.
