and thank god for it cause i'm sure there are many people out there that would feel the need to adjust their color while driving down the road.

mine usually goes between red and blue.

MyColor should be there...

It should be standard on your car....try playing with the info/setup buttons on the dash...

My only gripe is the limitation on the hue of the colors available. Other than that, it is a wicked thing...

you had to order the Interior Upgrade Package to get the MyColor.

Yeah, I'm one of those Civic haters too. I am thinking of getting a sign done that I can flash at those teenagers with their car done on the cheap. Something like "Its Still a Civic"...

I think it is one of the coolest customizing features on a car today.

It's simple, yet ... cool.
I rotate them once ina while...
The blues are really easy on the eyes, and i normally have it matching Windveil... or almost a turquoise.

Mine is set to a green color that is as close to the rest of the dash as I can get. I`m not that big on it,I`ve always liked white face gauges myself. All the money that was spent by Ford for this feature,I would rather have normal gauges and 20 more horsepower.

I can change mine all the time when moving and driving. I had it on red, now green, when I realized I can change it when I am moving I change it all the time. Nice!

Not necessarily... I had it added after I got the car. Cost a little bit, but was worth the money. I love it...

A thumbs up from me - I like the mycolor option on my '05 and ordered it on my '07 as well. I keep mine on the blue setting that matches the AC cool setting blue color. There's a pretty cool orange color available as well and I like the way the entire guage color will turn to red if the guage is in the danger zone.....was low on fuel and the gas guage color changed from my blue setting to red.

I love the IUP, not so crazy about the mycolor thing though. It's good for a couple "wow thats neat" comments from friends but it's pretty useless. I generally keep it the preset blue or the green which matches non mycolor lights in the car. If it didn't come with the interior upgrade package, I would not have gotten it.

Is it rice? I don't know, everyones definition differs. My definition is any item made to fool others into thinking you've done extensive performance mods to your car but really haven't. So under my interpretation of "rice", no it's not. Just a goofy gimmick item. Sorta like a pet rock!

Over on Blueoval news someone posted a shot of the new 2008 Escape which is getting a new corp radio and another member chimed in that the New Radio can change colors! So we finally might have radio to match the IP on the 08/09 Mustang

As for the IUP, I think the Mustang interior looks really cheap without it.
