Dark charcoal / satin aluminum combination

Thanks for all your help/pictures, everyone. I've now set my mind on Dark charcoal / Charcoal aluminum / Alloy. I've got an appointment to put the order in at 8PM tonight. If anyone has any strong opinions as to why this combination might be a bad idea, please let me know so I can consider it before locking myself into this choice for the rest of my life (ok, 5-10 years).
Steve, congrats on ordering your new Mustang! You're going to love it! Your choice of dark charcoal / charcoal aluminum / Alloy is going to look classy. I love the look of the charcoal aluminum I/P. You made a great selection.

For other folks about to order a new Mustang, I thought I'd post a pic of our Mustang with the dark charcoal / satin aluminum combination. I hope this is helpful.

My preference is the Satin finish with the light interior and Charcoal finish with the dark interior...I don't like too much contrast.

Not to get off topic, but I remember reading that the black instrument panel in the Shelby GT500 was supposed to be offered as another panel option beginning with job 2 in the 07s, but for some reason it still hasn't made it. I think it looks better than the charcoal.

Thanks for all your help, everyone.

I wasn't able to put in the order last night because I forgot my wallet+check for deposit...

But I just got it in 10 minutes ago during my late lunch break. Alloy metallic, Dark Charcoal, Charcoal Aluminum IUP. (+3.55/AA-theft/HID/Ambient/Comfort/17"machined)

And now, I wait.

Sorry Phil, and Taco Bill, .... what I meant to say was that there are "Wood Dash" companies out there, ... and I was wondering if 'any' of those companies were making "Charcoal Black" (real aluminum) dash kits that would match the Charcoal Panels that are already on the stang?

I think that a Charcoal Black Aluminum kit that went around the radio and around the shifter and center console would really look nice, ... but it would have to exactly, or dang close, match the Charcoal Panel that's already on the car.

IUP dash panels

The dark panels were made for the lighter interior colors for some contrast as the silver didn`t look so good. Anyhow its your call, get what YOU like !

Nice looking dash! I like the effect of the stitching, did they carry it through out the rest of the interior or is it just on the dash?
