    im trying to find something that will fit the vibe i have in mind

    Going small bumper (frnt and rear still collecting parts) blacked out tail panel and hood with boss 9 scoop and the stock steelies with the bands removed.
    hard to visulize I know i spent the past week looking at paint colors..

    What color is the interior? That will determine what direction you go.

    The entire interior was garbage (green died black) so the only thing it has in it right now is a pair of grey mustang seats in it and a black dash.n So im starting from scratch

    Once you get a black interior.....you can paint it any color....as they will all work.

    Personally I like both of those but, Vermillion is what i'd pick over those, the downside of a brightly colored Mav is it becomes the special edition of the Grabber, the Police-Grabber :rofl2:, remember that i you plan to play around with her on the street, not illegal racing just reving and rapid acceleration.
