Title: Deep impact blue or Tuxedo black
Post by: Bigb13 on March 01, 2014, 04:24:12 PM
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.

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!

Tuxedo is an excellent black. I love it to death.

...for the 2 hours it's clean.

I think TB is the classiest looking color on the SHO. But this will be my first and last black car, simply due to the impossibility of keeping it looking good.

I also love the flowers on a black one... but that color can be changed!

I'd have to say I'm more than happy with the Deep Impact Blue.  I still have some trouble with keeping it clean, but it really stands out in the parking lot vs all the monochrome colors you see.

Sweet looking SHO there!   I love the multistep paints for the same reason.

I just had to make the same choice myself and went with tuxedo black.  The dealer had blue, grey, and black in stock and the blue was just a little too bright for me.  A deeper blue with a touch of metallic would have been perfect.  I vowed to never get another black car about 3 cars ago but the tuxedo black looks the best on the SHO IMO especially with the PP wheels. 

Had to order no matter what though since no one seems to have a PP in stock anywhere near Colorado.  Hopefully I don't regret my decision next winter...

Hey guy, just want to thank you all for the great information.  I talked to my dealer today and they are going to try and find a blue sho with all my options.
They said they already knew where a black sho was with all my options.  :smiley-faces-75:
Thanks again Ben
