I will be ordering this week and my dealer was running the numbers for me the other day and when we got to the Interior Upgrade Package (IUP) he said that I had to get the side air bags too. I really don't want the side air bags. But if I have to take them to get the IUP, so be it.
Is this standard practice?
-Thanks

Actually, it should be the other way around. You can't get side air bags without the interior upgrade. I just ordered mine, and ordered the IUP and did not order side air bags.

I too believe that to get the SIA that IUP is required. But one thing I noticed is in the brochure it shows that the SIA is a stand alone option. Kinda wierd, has anyone tried building one at the Mustang website? Just wondering if maybe it wasn't a myth that everyone keeps repeating.

You need to get IUP to get the side airbags. However, you do not need to get the side air bags once you get IUP.
Why you wouldn't is beyond me, since they are like $285 and have the possibility of saving your life. They may help, they may not. But if you don't get them, you know for sure that they won't.
Is your life worth $300?
edit: Also, you know there is some sort of evidence supporting the fact that they do help since they will become required by federal law in 07 or 08, forget which.

I agree the the side airbags will pay for themselves in 2-3 years just in savings on insurance premiums. That is the only reason I got the IUP.

I dont think Grants was saying retrograde anything. I believe his point was it is an inexpensive safety feature that could save your life (Inexpensive in that your life is worth more than $300) and that is has been proven to the extent of mandatory requirement by the Government.
yup...I ordered them as well.

Who said anything about retro? I said they become required, meaning all new cars will be required to have them. Thus getting them on an 05 is a good idea.

Turns out that the dealer was mistaken - the side air bags are not required with the IUP.
Ok - so now I am feeling guilty for not getting them. I just need to make sure no one hits me on the sides...
