Dru, There's nothing wrong with a red Mustang. Red is popular on them because it looks good!...Plus red cars GO FASTER!!...Just ask Heven 67!! There are a lot of coupes with the Le Mans (shelby) stripes and they look good. There was a red one up here in Newcastle a few years ago with the gold stripes like you mentioned, and it looked really good. It's your car, do what makes you feel good with it!
