Carb Gray was my other option for the Base. Any other trim and I would have went Cactus, except maybe AMB on an OBX.
I'll be getting a VB base 2dr if the color continues in '22.
Here is velocity blue base, originally chose AMB. Early photos of AMB looked purple with recent stuff looking near a black, while the computer image seemed more blue. I’ve been able to get the tint done. Kicking myself currently due to failure a lack of coordinating. I’ve order some tires, but they won’t come in until next Friday evening-following Monday morning, so likely a 8/23 mount and balance. Just sent the steelies out today for satin black powder coating. I have no doubt that they will be ready, but until tires are mounted and balanced….it’s just sitting on the lift.I thought I had wheels lined up for the original rubber, but it fell through so now I’m waiting on Monday…no no not next Monday, but the next. Now you folks understand why my wife plans things. Luckily I have transportation, but what a moron am I? I didn’t take a picture of it on the lift without wheels/tires (and thankfully so) but I did notice it really had a darker pop to it since it was indoors. It is a great shade of blue, which I was worried about.
About the MIC, it looks good at the moment. I realized today I won’t be obsessed over checking it. I can see where potential problems could arise, but no flaws yet. I’m thankful to have it, and feel a touch guilty about being in the first group (although be it at the middle to tail end of it). I would rather a purgatory build find it’s way home so that owner can finally achieve that feeling. Mine will be in a constant soup bowl atmosphere daily, so it could deteriorate quickly. If so, that removes a little of the guilt about being in the front. My opinion so far…Ford hit a home run (yes they tripped over the batters box chalk, then the runners lane, the first base bag, stumbled to second, missed bag and had to go back, and currently still trying to finish it out 3rd to head home on this launch) and I believe you folks will think the same when they do.
I'm having a hard enough time deciding between the AMB, Race Red, and the Rapid Red. Now VB....
Saw an Explorer in it yesterday, and yeah it looks good - darker/more similar to Lightning Blue than VB is. I'd be ok with that - as long as they have something in that part of the spectrum (LB, VB, Atlas), I'm good. I don't want anything super dark like AMB, nor do I love Area 51.Some People were bitchin about VB being Dropped in 22’ and ATLAS might be the new one?
Im kinda digging it better, slightly darker.
I might het that one. Even if they Keep VB
Yes! I wonder if lightning and Atlas are the same? Just renamed?
I haven't looked at Atlas up close, but to the naked eye/from pictures I've seen, I think LB has more red in its flake, because there are some angles/lighting conditions upon which it can almost have a slight purple look to it, whereas Atlas seems to be more of a "pure" blue.
All I know is the Mrs says Blue no matter what!The more I see the Velocity Blue the more I'm taking a liking to it. NOOOOOOOO!!!!
I was at the Ford dealer on Wednesday and parked my Lightning Blue Ranger next to an Atlas Blue Explorer. They are different. The LB seems brighter to me but both look good...
