Why do you want to replace it? What are the stock bridge's problems?
If you're looking for tuning stability or something, properly setting up the stock bridge and tremolo is your best bet.

its for a mustang project, and im kind of on a low budget.
i live in australia so itd cost me about 50 bucks to get a mustang one over here.
a tunomatic one i can get anywhere alot cheaper.

I've heard those are pretty handy, especially if you have a heavy hand.

I'd save up for the mustang bridge. Tune-o-matics don't measure up right and lift your high + low E strings up further from the fretboard than the others. Fender's "Adjust-o-Matic" that they've been putting on the new Mexican Jags might work, but they'll probably run the same as a Mustang bridge.

Black pickguards are always a winner in my books.

if the PG and covers are black i'd say white. or black for complete stealth, maybe.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about the full-on stealth look on a 'Stang.
Interesting, but.

Once you've gone black, you can never go back...

yeh i was thinking black, but i have had so many guitars that were black/black, i should have got a white guard as well.
im not into the white either, but there isnt a lot of colours i can think of that would go well with a black guard? candy apple red would go but my jaguar is already that colour
looks like photoshop, testing out colours with a black guard is on the cards.
although that picture u posted of the black stang stewart does look very nice.
cheers,
Matt
