anyone got pics of the black dash with the silver vents? if that looks good i would be willing to swop with someone seeing as i have the black dash and black vents, and i think the silver vents would look good with my black dash

someone let me know if they want to swop or if someone thats made the change already has some silver vents they need to get rid of ill take them off your hands

 

Sorry StangNut, I didn't see your reply until just now. I ended up stopping by the dealer and what you say is correct, I can’t buy just the louvers but I can buy each vent unit #GR32-1989-AA(see pic). Having said that the bad news is that Mr. Ford wants $45 per vent!! I love the look of the dark vents but not for $180(LOL), soooo I stopped by the local Ace Hardware and took a look at their paint selection. What I found was a textured paint by Rustoleum called “Hammered Black� that very nearly matches my charcoal aluminum IUP. I’m going to try paint the louvers and see what it looks like, maybe even the whole vent(the part that pops out) including the chrome ring, but I’ll have to give that some thought first. Thanks for your help and again I apologies for not seeing it.

 

Give Kevin (05stangKC) a call or e-mail. Like Stangnut said, ordering 2 center panels is the cheapest route. Kevin sent me the 2 center panels for somewhere around $100........

 

Okay, so your first post to the board, and your bashing another member for a tasteful modification that they've done to their car (and if you haven't noticed, other members were interested), yet you post up some of the riceyest crap I've seen on the interior of a S197? And I'd LOVE to know what makes you the fastest V6 on the road.

 

Well welcome to the party, may I see your ID and Invitation?

I will advise you to calm down your remarks and opinions.

Thank you, and by the way " the worlds fastest 6-cylinder mustang"
do not reside at your location.

It is a NHRA Outlaw car.

Walmart now sells the House of Kolor spray paint, so get the transparent black and paint them with it. would be the cheapest if that is what your wanting to do.a kandy color is a translusent pigment that the black will be a tint ,but you will still have the chrome underneath it. lol

 

I think what StangNut did is awesome, it looks good ......I am going to be doing the same thing soon (swaping out vents with a non IUP Stang owner). Maybe you can order the Stang with the black air vents...but not if it has IUP, you have to trade vents with someone. I don't see what the issue is with trading stock vents? Only chromed out ones impress you? I think that says it all.......

 

Thanks, Jackie.
I was going to stay out of this... especially after what a good laugh I got out of seeing pics of his car, but his first post was a little over the top. (the one that got deleted - Thanks, TDS)
I'm not into flashy or gaudy mods. I just like the sutble changes. And like Jackie said, you can't get it that way from the factory.

 

Heck yeah Jason - I had to follow your example after I saw how good yours looked

Started me on my whole back and silver interior direction...

 

Would like to see thge IUP vents on a non-IUP Dash. I dont have the IUP...and maybe looking to switch vents for the Silver ones if they looked good?

 

Dang it - If I could remember the guys name on here who I swapped mine with, you could see his car - he took my IUP vents for his ride....

 

If you see a pic and you want to do it, let em know and Ill have mine boxed up and ready to ship the next day

 

****, beat me to it

 

Does anyone else want to trade? Black (Yours) for mine (silver)???

Sorry to dredge up a dead thread, but the search function works!

 

IUP vents ? you mean for the air ? I have a spare new one because I use one to hang my phone on. if so I can take a picture

 

There are 4.

 

I wonder if those Dash LED's go back and forth like on Knight Rider. Or maybe they're like huge turn signal indicators for the visually impaired. Or maybe it's like a huge flat tach that turns on more LED's as the engine goes faster.

Sorry, just being practical...

BTW, I mean this pic not Stangnut's..

I've got the no-iup dash with the standard vents and for my money the chrome trim around the outside of the pod is enough. I don't think the silver louvers would go well with the black/charcoal dash. Kinda stick out but that's just my tastes.

 

Really hate to take this thread but I'm going to anyway.

Add a mirrored ball below your map lights and have a true 70s retro look to your interior! (platform shoes, white three piece polyester suit w/ black shirt, Kool and The Gang on 8 track optional.)

Back on topic:

I have a Deluxe with no IUP (because I don't like shiny stuff in the interior) and am soon sending off the vents to have the hated chrome trim rings done in carbon fiber.

 

Where may I ask?
