Mustang guages on the Interior sports package
#21
It doesn't flippin' matter whether or not the gauges are "true gauges" or not. They are supposed to come with IUP, and so is MyColor. The entire IUP package is for appearances, not performance, including the gauges.
Personally, for me, if they screw up IUP and I can't order with it, they've lost a customer.

The oil pressure gauge on my t-bird is the only way I know when to add oil. When I make a right hand turn and the gauge drops to zero and then bounces back up, or if I come to a stop quickly and the guage dips I know it is a quart low. If the 4.6 continues to have the rear main seal leak it would be useful to have the gauge.

I didnt get IUP and found myself wishing I did because of the 2 missing gauges but then I remebered my old 2003 Mustang had them and I never looked at them anyway. Nor do I care about my distance till empty in the msg center. That is what the freaking fuel gauge is for.

I once had a Ford Cortina GT with a factory mechanical oil pressure gauge (very high quality gauge it was too).
I often wondered what would happen if the gauge end of the plastic pipe had broken. It would have been quite a mess to clean up inside.
There is alot to be said for electic senders.

My oil pressure gauge works and I believe it is an accurate representation of the actual oil pressure. When I start the car in the morning the pressure goes well past straight up and as it warms up the pressure comes back into line at just past straight up. If I watch the needle as I hammer the throttle it jumps as well. It may not indicate exact pressure by lbs but to say it doesn't really work or that it is just for looks is just absolutely ridiculous.
Also to those who said they wanted to put their own gauges in instead. Please tell me you are talking about putting gauges in the dash where they belong and not to rice-out your beautiful new car with big old ugly gauges sitting on top of the dash or even worse somehow mounted on the pillar at the edge of the windshield. I would understand this type of set-up for a drag car but a street going daily driver shouldn't be violated with such nonsense.

I am starting to hate the IUP! Just due to all the negative vibe on it!

What if your oil pressure suddenly drops, and you have no clue that its happening because Ford could not put 2 extra guages on all the cars!

Or there could be something wrong with your cooling system, fan out, low on coolant, bad water pump, ect... So watching the temp guage to see what's going on with the oil pressure is not a good way to go.
