05mustangman Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Gorgeous!!!!!! Got to see a 2013 test car from the AZ proving grounds driving down the road last night but unfortunately it going the other way. Was white with matte black stripes.

bpmurr Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 So what do you guys think. Stripe or Stripe Delete with Deep Impact Blue? I'm still torn because of the blackout across the back. I really liked my 2010 Kona Blue with White stripes however the white on the seat wore quickly. My Sterling Sliver 2011 looked awesome with stripe delete. Decisions...decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think it would look cool with Black stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That car doesn't have the new 3-piece front spoiler on it like what's been advertised. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nice shade of blue...still like Grabber Blue better. The stripes look kind of weird on the back being broken up into 3 pieces like that - don't think it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygator Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think it would look cool with Black stripes. I think it would look even better white with blue stripes... Just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stripes look kind of weird on the back being broken up into 3 pieces like that - don't think it looks good. bpmurr, Like you, I have a 2011 IS SD SVTPP. I'm not a big fan of the striped seat inserts. Although I have considered painted OTT stripes, I prefer the understated, below the radar SD look. To me, other than the quad exhaust on the 2013... the rear seems to be too "busy". It doesn't flow like the 2007-2009's or the 2010-2012's. In particular, what's with the extra wide license plate space??? That being the case, I'll probably be looking for another SD when it comes to the 2013 because IMO, it will tend to diminish that flaw. Other than that... great video! Thanks.

Agreed Svt Naja - I think stripe delete is the way to go! I would get that on a grabber blue - if I was just dreaming about getting a new car. lol.

hightorque3413 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Same for me. White vert black stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulanzo Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Cool colour....I like it.not sure if I like it more than Kona.....What I DIDNT like bout kona was that it occasionally looks purple. When it catches the light however.....damn its a nice shade of blue. This one looks like a good alternative. What I've noticed though is that the 2013 looks much better paired with black stripes because of the very reason mentioned above..when its sectioned off it looks funny in white. The all black panels and plate area meld into the black stripes so they aren't as off putting. Same goes for the glass roof which I didn't like before but can't get enough of on the Grabber car. Grabber blue is the next one for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dh777 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Looks just slightly darker that Vista Blue. Very Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NordicShelby Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yep thats what I thought. I like Deep impact blue as much as Vista Blue which I love but I think I will like my soon to see Grabber Blue Boss 302's color the best. There is something cool about grabber blue.

Mulanzo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 There is something cool about grabber blue. Definitely. Among the sea of black and grey cars out there it stands out like Waldo in a crowd and when it catches your attention, it's like getting hit in the face with a brick. As it hits you and you pass out, everyone else around you notices too and points it out. Grabber / black should have been an option in 2010 when they brought the 2010 refresh. I remember doing photoshop manips of the grabber white to see what black looked like and fell in love / became depressed that it wasn't a factory option. Fast forward to 2013 and wa wa we wa! With that said, I love my Kona Blue and don't regret it at all. Deep impact looks like it'll have that .. presence... that will draw a large crowd. It's pretty slick and I love that it doesn't have that purple tinge that Kona tends to have. Over all, the new colours of Candy Red and Deep Impact blue as well as the new striping options are really making the 2013 stand out. Thumbs up all around!

ShelbySupra Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Im still a bigger fan of the kona blue but that deep impact blue sure is nice. Stripe delete all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDan Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Call me crazy but I miss the skinny SVT stripes. The more I stare and gaze at the 2013 the more I think I may wait until the next gen in 2015. Added performance just is not worth the financial hit, I'm gonna need a dramatic visual change like a new gen to make the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztang Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks for the video, Great car, and IMO this color combo does not do it! So far the grabber blue with black stripes is the KILLER. Thanks again, braztang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkbarr Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 White stripes on that car would pop that blue and look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudguy4 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I love the new color. But, is there anyone besides me who is just tired of dark colored wheels? I mean, everyone gets you have a high-performance car without making them look like you drove cross-country.... I know alot of you guys like the dark colored wheels, but how about just a nice 5-spoke wheel option in either polished aluminum or chrome. I think that would give Deep Impact Blue, as well as other darker colors a little more pop. It shouldn't matter if you order the upgraded track/handling packages...we should have our choice of wheel options. Just a point to ponder!

Sudguy4 Go back and read all the replies...No one hates the dark dull ricer looking wheels more than I do I agree with you 100% Why in the heck with this kind of car don't they give the buyer at least 3 options of wheel color and style is beyond me. These dull wheels do nothing for the beautiful lines of this car IMO...Just go look at any Stang SS with the chrome wheels that says it all..Class!!!!

Burning Blue Star IV Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 But, is there anyone besides me who is just tired of dark colored wheels? I still love the look of the dark wheels on my car. Lots of people hated them when the '10's first came out - "too dark", etc. I think they just work so well on the car.

Sudguy4 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've already reconciled that a set of Shelby wheels, whatever replaces the Alcoa, would be my first mod with a set of Michelin Pilot Supersports. Problem solved! Sudguy4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2scmustangs Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 how about some good looking wheel options ( NO COST ) in polished aluminum or chrome i do not like the dark wheels they look like they are cover in brake dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezareth Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I like the different look of the wheels in the 2011-2012 models and while I think Chrome looks great these wheels can look good while dirty while Chrome looks much worse dirty. I do miss the 5 spoke Saleen wheels on my 99 S281...so easy to clean and looked amazing. I support the multi-choice option. I would say though if they optioned the wheels it would probably make the wheels more expensive for them since they would be ordered in lower quantities as well hard to stock etc. Since these wheels are all made overseas and the production of the GT500 is so limited, perhaps it is just a matter of economics.
