Hey Kevin....beyond what is listed already here...any news on the new under engine air shield? Supposedly on the 2010 GT it cuts high speed front end lift by 20 something percent. I have a a feeling that means less high speed hood flutter. It should be a bolt on I would think.

KC , any news as to whether the instrument cluster will fit ? A couple of my gauges have been giving false readings and I think I need to replace my cluster , so I might wait for this if it does. I like the tach on the right side since my other gauges are in the center and the white face would match them too ...

Its supposidly open underneath the cover. They did this for better sealing in the engine compartment. Until I see on up close and take a look, I'll take their word.

UPDATE,
I got Some 10 Cataloging today. It is Incomplete but I did get quite a Few Numbers. Very Little is Priced. I sent Pricing Inquires to Ford and got a Call back advising me No Pricing was available until Mid January. They Will Update me as Soon as Pricing is Set. Still No parts Expected until Mid to Late Feb. Will advise of Updates.

Now that I cannot tell exactly by just the pictures but the front of the e-brake does not come up as close forward to the center stack as before. It looks too be shorter and the awkward bend with the big honking piece of plastic casing is gone. I doubt engineering would change the mounting locations in the floor pan so it's probably just a redesigned handbrake assemblly with a shorter lever which is reshaped. The actual handle shape is nicer than the old one and appropriately covered with leather along with a boot to finish things off. Anyway, the new ebrake design is likely to be a direct retrofit the same way that the leather covered upgrade lever was for the 05-09 models. We will know more later.
The same goes for the new chrome ring speaker grille. They just might be a direct snap on in place of the trash can lids.
My obsessive self has been trying to figure out a way to incorporate the new center console and figure out how to integrate the mismatch to the center stack. I may as well give up on that idea.
The entire center console and door speaker covers of the 2010 are certainly the design improvements I wished for my own car. Those are the weaknesses I expressed long ago about the 05-09 interior design.
I spent a great deal of time with a 1997 VW GTI in my household at one time and wished that the interior was as nice on the Mustang with the soft dash surfaces, real aluminum trim and quality design and feel of the auto shifter. It looks like Ford benchmarked the interior of the GTI when they made the improvements for 2010 and they did it right this time.
