Screw everybody else. That blue car with orange stripes looks GREAT!!!!! Especially with the orange calipers and interior. This is a wild car and it looks best in wild colors. Leave the stripes painted on and don't mess with your choice. And I can 100% guarantee you you won't regret it.

I also agree with Chip. No color combo is too outlandish on this car! It was built to make a statement and that color combo screams: Look out, here I come!

Need opinion on this color combo. Wife talked Me in to combo and it's serialized and locked in and now have regrets.

Blue with orange stripes.

Orange Calipers.

Orange launch control interior.

Real opinions I can take it.

Thanks!

#1. Make it your decision. Get what you like!

#2. My 2 cents... Love the orange stripes, calipers, and launch control interior. A darker blue would be better. Maybe custom order the orange with a dark metallic blue like the Kona blue on other Ford cars. Liquid Blue sometimes looks greenish and sometimes looks Purpleish. A blue paint that doesnt change would look better... but that's my 2 cents.

I'm not getting all the drama. Maybe because the concierge made you doubt yourself (or doubt your wife)?

Blue and orange go together. Blue and orange are complementary colors in color theory. Google it.

You may be the first blue/orange GT, but blue/orange has been done many times.

I'd be a bit more concerned about the interior. Orange and black is an entirely different thing.

Imagine a photo from the rear of those orange stripes leading to flames coming out the exhaust. Wouldn't that be incredible? Somebody get Garen to paint that image.

I played with the combo on the configurator quite a bit. I think it's a great combo. I can't wait to see it in person.

I love it! Although I'm a big Denver Broncos fan...
I'm probably not much help, haha!

There really isn't a bad combo for the car. All that matters is your preference. Your money, your car. Period. Drive it to a Florida Gators game and you will be King.

Or a Boise State Game! ;-)

Listen to what options the Concierge tells you are available, but do not let them talk you out of what YOU want to do.

I don't think I've seen anything said here that should deter you from this combination.

I think it will look great, and I think the possible " 1 of " aspect would be cool also, although by presenting the question you may trigger some others to do the same. ( That shouldn't deter you either. )

Good luck with you choice, and enjoy your fabulous ride.

You guys are killing me!!!

Pretty sure they are going to let me change my color next week and will probably go Red with white stripe and white interior to match my 2005 GT.

I'll say to everyone just wait until You have to lock in your color...Stressful.

Especially since I had to do it in October.

Red with White Strips? How common. You already own a red/white car, why own another? You'll be sorry you didn't listen to your wife.

Just pulling your chain and having fun with your misery PDiddy. Really, pick the color that makes you feel good when you look at it, not what others want. As the adage states, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and it's your eyes doing the beholding.

The metallic Red? That would also be incredible.

Is the metallic red called liquid red?

Yes - the Red is "Liquid Red"..
Unless you pick a 'special pallet color ' / pay extra (over the $5000.00 for liquid Red) and then 'timing' does become and issue.
