these cars aren't expensive... hmm...
I'm leaning towards the subdued look like the Dark Highland Green one, only in a blue. I don't want my car to be a Bullitt tribute. Thinking no wing, the FR500's with a Graphite center instead of the old Silver, a deep blue metallic, and either no stripes or Graphite ones. If I do stripes, they will be vinyl.
Glad to see the car wasn't a write off.
S2-05 LAPIS BLUE FX KARRIER BASE (metalume). Bet its spendy though.
On second thought, I don't love it. This is a Kona Blue 96 Cobra with no wing. Kona Blue is a 12-16 Mustang color that I like, but it's too dark on the plainer SN95 body. I think I need to go a bit bolder.
Here's Deep Impact Blue:
Better, but still not there.
I'm leaning towards 2017 Lightning Blue. Nobody has done an SN95 in this color yet and it's pretty unique looking. I think I'd even do the Graphite/Red stripes as well since I'm already thinking Graphite wheels (polished lip!) and the calipers are red.

Just an FYI, with a lot of their special colors, Ford will make you prove ownership of the specialty vehicle the paint came on. They've done it in the past with Mystichrome, Competition Orange, etc on SVT vehicles. I don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if Lightning Blue were treated the same way if it's a GT350 only color.

Man, that would look pretty cool... so looking forward to the finished product.

I would think a really good automotive paint shop should be able to come rather close, right?
+1 on the Lightning Blue - love it.
PS - That GT350R looks amazing.

Lightning Blue is a full line Ford color. You can get it on the Fiesta, Fusion, and F150. But you are correct on the Mystichrome. I would hope that a current SVT owner would be able to get some paints though.
What about the crazy Electric Spice on the 2016 Edges, with black fender hash marks, and square fitment with concave Konig Oversteers?
Grabber Orange

IMO that blue is nothing special on it's own but combined with the graphite/red stripes it looks amazing. (That rear spoiler is the single best thing I've ever looked at in my entire life, including Jessica Alba when she was on Dark Angel)
However, I don't think I would like the traditional twin stripes on an SN95. Maybe do the sills with a large graphite stripe with the red pinstripe on top of it and just do the center hood bulge following the styling lines from the grill up in graphite with the red pinstripe?
So are we not gonna take the King Cobra seriously?
In reply to Nick (picaso) Comstock:
I like the stripes Bondurant used on their Cobras:
hey Jav, you might want to look at this thread for a set of wheels. 17x9 and 17x10.5 5-spokes in the 95R style in white.
Plus they have Rcomps on them, mine was a riot on R's.
Another vote for Lightning Blue, either the graphite or white stripes would work. This is the bright atlantic blue as my google fu is failing me on finding an SN95 with Lightning blue but it's close
I'm not a Mustang guy but I like this.
I like that!
add this wing (as you discussed)
Although, I do like the Griggs GR40 spoiler, but its carbon and a-spensive 
Lightning Blue is wearing off on me. I'm pretty sure all of the GT350R shots online are actually Liquid Blue, the concept color. Saw a Lightning Blue Fusion yesterday and it just looked like a regular color. SO now I'm trying to think of all my favorite blues.
04-06 GTO Impulse Blue Metallic:
Subaru World Rally Blue:
Mazda Celestial Blue:
I found these shots of an SN95 Cobra with the Saleen spoiler in the factory Bright Atlantic Blue. I think I need darker than this.
Geez, Michael, make up your mind already! 
Admiral blue - the 96 vette grand sport color. Also known as Dark Cloisonne Metallic
