The IUP lite option looks great with grey or tan interiors. I'm not crazy about the full IUP on anything but charcoal. I could care less about my color, the best looking color is 555 bright white anyway.

 

Hey biason I agree. IUP looks best with the dark charcoal. The tan & grey would look ok without it but I would still get it. I actually wanted the med graphite on my car. But it's not avaible for the Mineral Grey & my mom's 03 Ranger has the brown/tan interior & I just don't like it. It looks "euck" IMO. I just don't think I could stand driving a car with that interior everyday. Again JMO. This is why I had to settle for the dark charcoal. Although It's not that bad cuz that's what color my 02 interior was.

Anyway. I orginally ordered the IUP because it upgraded the gagues to 6 but then I actually read what else in included. And now I love everything about it.

Anywhoo. Whatever makes you happy. I mean you have to drive it. And like someone else pointed out you can always go aftermarket. Cheermates.

 

Go aftermarket as in?...

So if I still wanted to get IUP put into my car... i'd be able to?

 

not trying to bring up already talked (to death) subjects but has anyone heard any updates concerning th IUP holds? Is the end of the hold (for v6ers) near?

 

No. Aftermarket as is the door handels & the shifter & things like that. They also have an aftermarket dash set. But it's only metal plates. It's not the gagues & the my color option or anything like that. It's only the metal looking material.

HorsC ~ Here is a link to another post that talks about an update on it. It was just started today & it looks like good news.

i realized that im gonna play with mycolor sooo much. i did before my test drive and its like an addicting videogames. arent there presets that u can set to ur own personal pref??

 

Is it still possible for me to put the IUP in my interior?

 

I'm with you guys on this too & I got the I.U.P. Lite also. I plan on getting the dash kits from SS Inserts but won't use all of it. I'll have to see how it looks before I apply it. I think the fact that the air vents will be black it may offset the "too much" look & look even nicer than the original I.U.P. offering. I plan on doing the upper dash, & the left & right sides of the radio/AC console, but leaving the rest of it black. I may just wait. I did like the standard in dark charcoal the way the chrome gauge rings stood out. With the insert kit on offer, it's there if I change my mind.

 

Hey There,

I bought without and really don't miss it. In fact, I like how the air vents stand out without it. I had the opportunity to buy it on a red V-6, but decided the red looked pretty bad with the black rocker panel stripe (IMHO).

I thought I wanted the IUP, until I saw the yellow GT without it.
The two missing gauges and computer read out info are all covered by idiot lights. If I need gauges, I'll go aftermarket.
I like the retro look of the green lighting, and I didn't get a Mustang GT to play with the dash light colors.
1. Black leather steering wheel cover over the stock rubber wheel has given the wheel the right feel, and added a bit to the thickness providing a better grip, and no metal spokes intruding into the leather grip area. $30
2. Chrome shift **** goes nicely with the chrome dash accents, and eliminated the funky feel of the stock rubber ****. $25 B)
3. Saved all that weight

 

I believe all of the wiring is there for the IUP. I recently had the center console apart, upgrading the stereo. The wiring harness for the controls for IUP is there, that would lead me to believe all the wiring is there for it. I also noticed the wiring plug for the auto tranny is there and for the speakers (subs in the doors) for the shaker 500/1000 systems. I don't know what else may be needed to add the IUP. There maybe a different computer or module missing that sends the signal to the msg center in the IUP dash, but I can say for sure that the wiring is there for the IUP.

 

I love my IUP and find stangs without it to be very plain. Guess i'd rather have it look over the top then dull....as long as we're all happy in the end that's all that matters....the my color option is very cool though too! Makes the car seem new and different when you change it from time to time...

 

I'm trying to find out if the extra gauges (or the standard two small ones) are actually functioning gauges that measure - say - the actual oil pressure, or just 'idiot light' gauges, that are either 'off' or 'on'.

The early Miatas had 'real' oil pressure gauges, but after too many complaints by people who didn't understand that the oil pressure varies as you drive your car, Mazda switched to 'on/off' gauges - just visual idiot lights.
