Takes the shifter from being stunning to a regular car real fast. That 2 dollar savings was really worth it! This is where spending 2 bucks on this and a couple of bucks somewhere else and for ten dollars in savings and you end up regular in stead of exceptional. Was the chrome ring suppose to be standard in all auto stangs or part of the IUP?

I want the Chromed Trim around the Shifter to go with the Chrome Air Vent Rings! It was supposed to be part of the IUP, Non IUP Cars have a Black Shifter and Trim, but I guess it cost a couple cents more to Chrome the trim ring or something? It just looks Cheap without it being chromed.
I also noticed that newer pic's I have seen of the Headliner on the GT's are the same old Felt like we have had forever, When I saw the 05's in person before they were released, GT's had a "Woven" type headliner like this first pic, that looked Great, but now it's just Plain Boring Felt? What Gives?

Almost every change is based on $. Every nickel saved is $9500 based on 190,000 Mustangs produced a year. Saving $2.63 a car is half a million to the bottom line! It is obvious why every manufacturer does this.

Is it me?? First pic, parking brake handle..= straight. Second pic = parking brake handle has bend for easier access.

It's not the same exact felt that was in the previous model year. My 00 Mustang had ugly fuzzy type felt. The 05 is smoother and looks a lot better.

So does your headliner look like the pic' below or is it solid? I really liked the "Woven" look, it reminded me of the perforated healiners cars had in the, 50's 60's and 70's.
