Certain colors do seem to be "stereotyped" with certain cars. A majority of people think "red" when you say Ferrari or '65 Mustang convertible. More often than not, it happens to be blue/white stripes whenever I mention a cobra.

When I ordered my SPF, the dealer mentioned that approximately 80% of the cars they sold were "blue with white stripes". I was truly amazed how many blue color choices were available.

Well, when it came time to make my decision, I ended up purchasing a custom blue cobra with bright white stripes. The reason???? BECAUSE THAT COLOR COMBO IS WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED!!! Do I have any regrets??? NOPE!!!!!!!

My color choice just happens to be sided with the "majority" of other owners, but I don't frown on any other color combinations out there......pick the color YOU like and go with it. If you plan to buy and sell, then go with the majority....that is just good marketing as your target audience seems to be fond of the blue/white combo. Don't forget to do some research... I hear that the titanium/silver with blue stripes is very popular lately with SPF owners.



Good luck!
