Cost would be in the $1200 range and he said you would probably end up with rattles in the dash if the change was made.

i do not know why people complain about not being able to see the guages, i see mine perfectly well and i think if you put white faced or silver guages they would be really hard to see during the day and bright as hel

The Mustang interior doesn't hold a candle to a 996 Porshce. My friend has a 996 TT and I've been in a few Carreras. You must be smoking some good stuff.

hello all..
i love my mustang interior.
Its clean, easy...no frills and all the unnecessary tech stuff that MOST people do not need.
I was looking at 993 and 996 Porsche 911's about 2 years ago and let me say that those cars were about $80K range and this Mustang interior is SO much nicer!!!!!
thanks all !

Are you on something ?
The flat black, plastic interior along with not being able to see the dash gauges during the day has been a major source of complaints from many different sources, Ford has agreed and stated the interior will get a major review during the next upgrade of the Mustang.
But here again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Since the majority are dark charcoal this is probably not going to be a popular position. I have no idea what Ford was going for with the Mustang and Fusion's dark interiors. I tried them out at the dealership and they just looked cheap. All the texture mismatches look like the parts came from different suppliers that wouldn't share their plans.
As to not being able to see the instruments, on my first test drive I hit the rev limiter because I got temporarily blinded by sunlight reflecting off the chrome instrument rings.
I ended up going with the crimson interior which I thought I would hate. Quite the oposite happened. It breaks things up and for whatever reason feels refreshing.

I have the light graphite leather interior w/ the IUP (chrome instrument rings). The top of the dash is dark charcoal, but the rest is either grey w/ the silver trim panal. And I have NO complaints w/ the car inside or out.

Mine is, I wanted the top color and interior color to match. I didn't really like any of the color combos with tan top/interior, plus when I ordered it I intended it to be a summer/winter daily driver and I was really concerned about being able to keep a tan top clean in the winter. Turns out I ended up changing my mind about driving it in the winter and I love the look of the black cloth top vs. the tan or black vinyl tops. In any event, the interior hard plastic pieces, like the glove box, lower dash, and most of the door panels, still look cheap.....but the PTP helps a lot....and we all have to remember that these cars can go out the door for $25K or less, so I think it's all acceptable in that context. Plus, who on this board doesn't look back and smile ever time they walk away from their car?

i love my mustang interior but...
i just checked out a 2005 Pontiac GTO and i think the GTO interior has the edge over the Mustang.
I feels richer and more lush.
I like the simplicity of the Mustang interior better though.
