Default help me decide my 2005 color

well tomorrow im going off to the ford dealer to order an 05 mustang ..the problem is i cant decide which color i want and what interior and so forth

ive narrowed it down to 4 colors ...white, silver, min. grey, and black

im strongly swayed towards the black and silver but i also want the charcoal/red interior and i just dont think that will look nice with the silver

i could also go silver with just plain dark charcoal interior

help me pick everybody around me is like a split decision
"you have to go black - nothin meaner than a black stang"
"black gets dirty too easily"
"i like yellow myself (yeah thanks a lot of help there)"
"silver looks too 'fake'"

so yeah i dono im just confused
this decision is life or death guys

black is the best color on any car. (we have to black mustangs in my family both with chrome rims.) the interior is whatever your most comfortable in b/c black can go with any thing.

Gotta be black Red leather interior looks awesome too. There is nothing like a black car, and I say that with experience, my wife's 02 is the 8th black car I have owned. They take more washings, but the results are worth it

Yeah, I wish I was going to have that problem tomorrow. I envy you. I could get one, but I want to keep my 97 Vert AND my 2000 Silverado pickup, and I don't want a car payment now that the truck is paid off. My wife may trade the 02 V6 but whe wants another V6.

You keeping the 68?

Good choice, be SURE and post some pictures. They told my son there is going to be a black GT at Tyler Ford in a week or 2, gotta get my wife down there and let her drive it so she will trade the 02 on it. She usually trades about every 2-3 years anyway.

It will be a long 8 weeks.... Maybe they will surprise you and get it in as a Christmas present. Black is the right color. Mineral gray is not bad.

Tonight my son called me on his cell from the car wash, there was a white 05 GT out cruising Broadway! I rushed over there and watched the cruising action until I saw it pass by about 5 times, it really looks great on the street, better than ALL the magazine shots!
