Some of the early renderings of the '05 interior showed the little "L" inserts above the rear armrests being the same color as the door panel inserts. I like this look.

I realize the production cars don't have these different color inserts, but I'm wondering, is that really a separate piece, or is the rear panel all one piece?

If it's a separate piece, what I'm thinking is, maybe it would be possible to order the piece from the dark charcoal interior from the parts department, and use it with a light graphite or medium parchment interior to continue the two-tone effect into the rear.

Does anyone know if that's a separate piece?

 

Sounds like it could work, and it would look cool.

 

Yes, I agree.

I think Ford designed these interior pieces so they could have a lot of variation cheaply, but it may also be nice for people who want to do a little customizing. With the interior colors they have now, you could have light graphite inserts in a dark charcoal interior, or you could have dark charcoal panels and parchment inserts with a parchment interior, etc. Lots of possibilities.

 

If they are removable I will redo both the door inserts and the ones in the back to match the Sonic Blue paint. Should look cool with the dark charcoal interior.

 

Aren't the inserts leather?

Sounds cool though adrenalin.

 

I know the ones in the Door can be Changed, just check out this pic' from MRT. and No they're not Leather, they're Perforated Vinyl.

 

Ah...thanks for the clarification.

 

Ya, but I would do a better job than what I see in that pic. The vinyl looks loose. I would also use a darker shade that matches Sonic Blue.

 

Cool photo. Do you know what aftermarket head unit/screen is shown in the pic? I want to install a double-din DVD/touchscreen when the convertible comes out next year.

 

That looks like a pretty heavily modified center console...not just a double din.

 

I believe this is one of the SEMA Show stangs. I forget which one (interceptor maybe?), but I remember seeing this head unit, and I think in another thread, one of the creators said it was a Rockford Fosgate unit.
