hey Glen - we must have been thinking the same thing. Did you pick yours up at Coastal?
I picked up the DIB vert from Glenoak last month!

I like gloss or pearl white not a flat white. But yea black really only looks good after I clean it. Thats why I'm trying to change it up a bit. I'm thinking of pulling off the black stripes and either putting double red stripes or a single red super snake stripe with stock hood.

I think maybe you missed (what I perceive to be) jerseygator's point:  You kinda went overboard with your opinions, bashing just about every color out there.  You're quick to denigrate anything or anyone that doesn't align with your preferences (eg, "the red on the interior looked stupid and out of place") .  Don't worry, I'm not going to lose any sleep over your opinion of my GB car, but your manner of expressing your opinion isn't real endearing, and often gets you less than cordial responses. My $.02, FWIW.

Well said Husky.
Personally, I like the GB.
Also have a thing for the white with blue stripes Pete.

Thanks!  I fell in love with GB long before anyone ever heard of a smurf.  And white with blue stripes will always be special.  Truth be told, I haven't seen one of these cars yet that I didn't like the color.  I even like the GHIG (which should be called Grabber Green--I think maybe Mopar used that color name, so Ford couldn't, as in 70 it WAS Grabber Green...) but figure it will be a little too much in 10 years.

Back to the OP's car though--Candy Red will be beautiful for all time.  I've seen it in person, and it's gorgeous, and deep.

Besides all the color debate, lets get back to the origination of this post.... Congrats Glen and Lisa for your '13 Red Candy Vert score...one of 9 verts imported to Canada, and only 2 Red Candy Verts imported to Canada for 2013 so far. Beautiful. I am so happy for you both!! Took your 07 500 out tonight in celebration.  Put 4 miles on him. Doesn't seem pissed at all...LOL..must be some sort of a "seniority" complex, like the 5.0....doesn't seem to phase him!! Back in storage, back on the Battery Tender, and ready for you both in Feb. I will try to get him out fr a drive again before you both get here.

Red stripes would look hot! I just saw a black 2009 vert with red stripes for sale on this site and thought about my comment here. I'd consider owning one of them!

I didn't bash every other color. I said DIB looks good but not in the type of light that makes it come out purple. I almost got DIB with black stripes. But I really only like the way it shines a really really bright blue in sunlight. I don't like it when the sun is down. I never said GB was ugly just that it looks like a smurf which will lets face it, if you have ever seen the smurfs well then you can't deny the colors are exactly the same. Anytime I see a GB mustang on the road I still turn my head to look at it. Green is nice, I wouldn't own it but it looks nice. Candy red is good race red is good though I think everyone will agree metalic colors on this car brings out the lines more. Thats why DIB and  candy red look really the best on this car because it shows the lines. Same with green and yellow. I think silver should be gone from cars because its so plain. And yea I think 2 random red stripes on the all black interior does look out of place. Now if there was an option like on corvettes or camaros to change stiching colors and brake caliper colors well then you could add a little more red to make it flow better. It's not about disagreeing or bashing anything that doesn't align with my preference when in fact the majority of people share the same preference. There is a reason there are not THAT many red striped cars and more white and black striped. Same with the blue striped. You don't see many sonic blue cars because that sonic blue on the interior doesn't look good. Now granted the red looks better but it still isn't that great. The white looks good though. Again if ford did more color besides 2 random stripes it would look better but then its more cost they don't want to spend.

Art is subjective but still there is a reason certain artist are more popular than others....

Yea it does look nice. And if I went that route I would change the interior around a bit to match accordingly. But I'm thinking of doing the red SS stripe to be completely unique since I have yet to see one 2010+ black car with a red SS stripe.
