Hey guys I am going to be picking up a new SHO in the next few weeks. I having a hard time deciding what color to go with.  I really like the deep impact blue and the tuxedo black. If you guys have any pro or cons for those colors, that would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance Ben

I like the blue a lot!  I used to hate blue cars but Ford has some really nice shades going back the the 2nd Gen SHO.  Easier to keep nice too.

Deep Impact Blue ranks up there for me and Tuxedo Black looks great as well.  Go look at both and pick out your car.  You can't go wrong with either.

I have a tuxedo black SHO. I would have gotten the deep impact blue if they had one. I really would have loved a blue flame metallic like my f150 I traded in but that was never even an option, But if I ever need a total repaint thats the direction I would go.

Surprised none of the actual Blues Brothers have chimed in yet :D  No question Ford has picked some awesome shades of Blue for the SHO.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I love both colors, but have to vote for black since my '12 is tuxedo black.

I like both colors. However if kept clean I think that the Tuxedo Black is one of the nicest colors around. It is a pain to keep clean though!
