Damn that black looks tough. My wife got my the Hemi Orange version for Christmas (Somebody loves me).

I am torn on the colors...my cousin had a black Mustang that looked great many years back and I am torn now between the two.

Black on the outside and black/brushed aluminum, titanium or carbon fiber on the inside for me.

There is a 2006 Black Mustang in the family and it looks bad to the bone. Unfortunately, in the hail storm
it got 6 bad dents but after the season was over they were repaired from the inside so paint mods were done.

In some cases I have heard they use a dry ice technique or a massaging technique to get rid of hail dents.

While I love the black Supercar1, it is just too expensive for me (especially since we just had Christmas).
I already bought a limited edition plum crazy 1970 Challenger for $60.00. I will just shop and look for the
$20.00 Maisto version instead which I have yet to find.

Well, Jeremiah, the dry ice technique was explained to me by a native West Texan thusly: Park the car outside in the hot sun all day (preferably at the height of summer). In the late afternoon -- when the body is good and hot -- put a piece of dry ice on the dent. Theoretically, the metal will contract so quickly that the dent pops right out. I've never tried it myself and the guy who told me that drinks quite a bit. Hence, I think it might be something that good ol' boys in the Permian Basin tell each other to kill time between rounds.

Guys thanks for the offer, but let me look a little longer before we go through all of that trouble. Maybe they are just now getting to Texas.

I finally saw today and picked up the green Hot Wheels version of the Challenger. I hope the larger Maisto version will eventually arrive in Walmart.
