Best color! I had a CO 04 Mach 1 and wanted to buy a CO Boss when they came out but the timing just wasn’t right.
Yes I fell in love with the car when I saw it in person. I bought the first one from a BMW dealership in Texas and drove it home to FL. I hardly turned the radio on at all. She screamed on the highway. It’s the best sounding factory exhaust on a Mustang that I’ve ever heard with the track key and side exhaust baffle plates removed. I saw a pristine 2,500 mile CO Boss online for sale ($46k) right after I got mine. They are out there if you’re still looking. This one I got has 25k miles on it one owner all stock. Sorry squirrel.

I found this info on LMR about the history of the orange mustangs that was pretty interesting. I think it’s the perfect shade with all the black accents on the Boss, not to dark but not to light.

My Boss is Comp Orange..........I wouldn't want a Boss in any other color, because CO is the fastest and Bestest( spell check is fighting me here).............I had a 2004 silver GT.........that 04 CO stang looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I finally got the Gt-500 look spoiler. I went with the MMD Speedform pre-painted black off American Muscle for $280. It was a pain and the bolts had a little issue with lining up as they are not built into the spoiler like the factory one is. After some time I finally got it with the help of a second set of hands. The truck was to bolt it down first loosely, line it up and then pull the backing for the 3m tape. I wish the oem one from Ford was still available but that to from everything I’ve seen and researched trying to find has also been discontinued. Overall it’s decent I had to send the first one back as it had swirl scratches in the paint. Second one came back the same way but they offered $135 credit to keep it. I should be able to buff it out but they aren’t that noticeable. Overall not bad if you can get it for $145 like I did. Now what to use the credit for……..

My first Boss was Comp Orange and considering the fact that my very first car ( Datsun 2000 ) I repainted a Ford Orange, that gives you a committed view that I like the color, ha. Keep us posted on your upgrades and wider wheels and tires is a great step that you have listed.

Very nice! I looked hard at the yellow blaze before pulling the trigger on my second Boss just for the exclusivity or so I thought. I ran into a guy at Publix that had a 12’ GT in yellow blaze not long before purchasing my second competition orange. The yellow was different but not as yellow as school bus yellow on the 13’ Boss plus I wanted the flat front of the 12’ vs the 13’. All in all I’m ecstatic to be fortunate to own another C/O Boss and find myself staring at it when I’m not able to drive it lol. I definitely will update as the changes come. Thanks Bill.
