I'm not sure...I think they look OK in photos, but I just can't tell if I'd like them in my car. I really like the stock a/c *****...guess I just need to see more photos.

I got the billet door pins...they look nice. Sometimes I get a little saturated with too much billet in one vehicle...seems like it goes from "standing out" to gaudy really fast.

I agree. UPR products is not too far from my house, so I stopped by to get the same billet door pins, a shorter antenna, and that EJECT cig lighter (I thought it was kindof cool). The owner was there with his 05 mustang and showed me all the billet accessories he had. I didn't care for all the under hood products-too gaudy. The A/C ***** I linked are black on the sides, billet on the face. My only problem with them, is that is the only billet in the middle of the all black center (console).

Yeah I looked at them the other day. I got the pony lighter plug (my wife has the eject one)...they rock. I agree about the look though...it's almost like they stand out TOO much. But at the same time, I look at their kits for the late model mustangs that have an aluminum plate to surround the *****, and they don't look right to me either. I don't know...maybe I'm just too picky.

I like those, but I tell you what I'm gonna do - I'm gonna hold off on any mods until March since that's when south FL gets hit with two major Ford events - FFW in Orlando, then NMRA in Bradenton. All the major aftermarket manufacturers will be there with their wares, often at a discount since they don't want to take stock back home! Plus, by then there will be plenty of 05's on the road and other owners will be the guinea pigs for mods and we'll be able to see them in person So 169stang you're close enough to enjoy both events if your schedule allows! I have your number and you (should) have my cell number so maybe we can hook up then.

I have been debating about those also. I would like something to match the IUP dash.

One thing I like about them is that they are a dial. I usually rest my hand on the shifter and extend a finger to change the controls. This way, I can just rotate them with one finger. Sounds lazy, I know.

I have the Steeda a/c *****. They look great and work well with the IUP package.

Ken, can you post a picture of the overall dash, to see how they look together with the IUP?

Definitely will be there. I drive over there so much for the day or for the week, it's nothing to drive over-Orlando or Bradenton.
I was looking at those Steeda ***** as well. I think I like those better than the UPR *****, but I'm hesitant with the blinging thingy. I also was looking for something to tie in the IUP dash to all that black plastic.
Too much of the polished, bright look means too much cleaning. And YES, it is possible to have to much chrome/polished look-IMO.

Those look a bit funky! Too dimensional or something. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe to box like, angles, sides. Good find, but not my taste.

Thanks for the side view. Wow, they look like they stick out really far. Or is it just me? I like it from the front though. Will have to think about them after the side view.
