hey guys a newb here. spend most of my time on FNSWEEt but saw the true blue registry and signed up trueblue is the best color there is on stangs. the only other color ide consider is red fire. but i wont ever get rid of my trueblue baby
if i could say so my self the true blue color isnt that great of a color and it really doesnt change colors from blue to any sort of purple..you guys are nuts..if there is any other color that was to do this it would always have to sonic blue..it looks blue and then it looks almost purple. how can you beat that? :damnit:
The thing about Sonic Blue is its a solid color whereas True Blue has the metallic fleck which in fact does have a color shift depending on light conditions. Sonic Blue is a constant purplish blue... more purple than blue IMO. Actually, my avatar is rather small but in the actual size you can see the light transition from the rich deep blue to having a purplish twinkle here and there in the sunlight. To artificially produce the result, you can take a flashlight and shine it directly on True Blue and see a brilliant blue and then take the light shine it across the paint at an angle and see quite clearly the blue has changed to a purplish metallic look. Its not Mystic by no means, but IMO its the most interesting shade of blue that Ford has used in recent years. Plus, in low light conditions, it looks nearly black.
What crawled up your butt and died. Take a true blue to a gas station at night. The lights always make my car a purplish color, as well as when it's in the garage.
yea man i think u got ur colors confused. sonic blue doesnt appear to change much. not near as much as trueblue does.
i dunno where u live but i know a ton of people with them. try http://www.yellowmustangregistry.com/ not trueblue registry
ya ... the yellow mustang registry has a ton of information on all the yellow stangs, including production numbers.
ive got a 02 true blue mustang... love the color, looked for 1 1/2 months for it. anyways didnt know their was a registry for blue?? ill work on pics of my car
True blue around here (SF Bay Area) is common. I have an TB 03GT w/ DC interior. It started life as an 01 cobra wheeled premium pack coupe but now wears 17x9 95R wheels, 14K in suspension and has most of the interior removed and replaced with a pair of lightweight racing seats. A 5.4L and TKO500 are coming in shortly. I love TB. The color change effect is really neat in the bright california sun. Never know if your car is black blue or purple but it's always good lookin.
Fun fact...If you have to have some paint work done...The body shops have about 9 variants of Ford's True Blue. Was really weird looking at the samples next to the car. So close, yet only one matched right. (Bought unmatched 03 Cobra mirrors for my 01 Cobra that needed to be painted. Should have them on in a week or two if I get time.)
When I originally called Ford, they quoted 300 for each mirror!!! (Ouch!!!) So I started looking around. I found out that BlueOvalIndustries on eBay sells these mismatched sets all the time. Here is a representative listing, selling for $180: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-0...ewItemQQcategoryZ33649QQitemZ8028981025QQrdZ1 As far as I can tell they are the real deal. The set I got looked new and perfect. I completely dissassembled them before taking them to a bodyshop so that all I was paying for was the paint work ($60). I should have them back soon at which point I'll put them back together and install. Good luck, MJ
Just picked ours up yesterday! Love the true blue. What are these websites everyone is talking about registering at?
