Got a text early evening... C8 has arrived.

Congratulations on new ride, it's a beautiful color, and I'm sure her excitement won't go away anytime soon, so she shouldn't realize what's missing lol.

Damn man, I have seen that color in person, its a sharp and eye popping color. Make sure to post some more pics when she gets home

Thank you... definitely will!

When she ordered it I wasn’t sure how it was going to look. I had seen many pics online but now that I have seen it in person none of them did it justice. It’s a great color!

As a rule I’m not a bright blue person (I like B5 Blue), but damn that’s sharp!

 

[Demoniccat]

Ford blue!

Also reminds me of Petty blue, Both to be construed as a compliment.

I don’t think it will be mistaken for a Mustang!

Look at corporate petty blue paint code 999. used on 1970 super bird for petty and some birds sold to public very very close. The story goes per Richard Petty that when they went to paint a car blue they didn’t have enough blue paint, the did also have some white hanging around, Mixed both would yield enough to cover the whole car, that’s his story in a interview. Although others claim it was to get back with Plymouth after a one year hiatus to ford, then aligning with the traditional blue used in the Plymouth Chrysler signage. @Tkracing1now that I have stomped on your post let me apologize by the best compliment and saying I would be proud to have that next to my Idigo Blue RE in the garage. Sweet ride well chosen.

My wife was pretty excited last night... she picked up my phone after a text and danced around to room for a bit. I had no clue what the excitement was about until I checked the phone...

She is still so excited she hasn't even noticed it doesn't have the high wing... maybe she will never notice and I wont have to explain why it's not on.

TK, might want to start looking for some drag radials

I like the shorter wing, it looks more proportional.

I was undecided...@ the last minute..I opted for the shorter...glad I did

Every time I see a real tall wing on some little Corolla or Sentra, it cracks me up, it's like really what are you doing, over compensating for something.

My bet..tk never puts the big wing on..the low one flows well with the lines...

I agree, it looks good as it is.
