2011 Rapid Spec 401a??
What is included in the rapid spec 401a for the Mustang Premium?? I know the seats get a white stripe, but what else is different for the extra $400 bucks?
If someone can help- I dont know if it's worth ordering. Some Pony badge? anyone have any pictures on the 2010?

Did I miss anything?
I actually prefer the 400a trim, but I'm in a small minority. Most people love the 401a.

I like the everything in the 400a better except for the shift **** and lack of stitched door armrests. I will probably opt for the 400a and replace the arm rests & shift **** to richen the interior a bit.

400A looks better IMO. I prefer EVERYTHING about 400A except for the shift ****, which is why I'm adding the 401A **** to my vehicle. Already have the ****, just need the shift boot.

I like the darker dash face of the 401A, too bad you can't get this on a V6 !!
Something I did not notice before, but it looks like they leather-wrapped the e-brake handle too !!

I like the darker look of the dash in the 401a but I don't like the texture. I think it clashes with the texture of the dash (IMHO). I ordered the 400a and may also be switching out the shift lever, first I have to see how it feels for awhile. I like the leather ribbings better too in the 400a. I have a feeling it may be more comfortable on hot days.

I just ordered my first Mustang. I did order the 401A. The only thing I would do differently is to color the bright aluminum the color of the car. Not with paint but a hint of the color, more of a stain look over the metal

The only major complaint I hear about the 401a shift **** is when it's really hot the shifter heats up pretty well. It'll make the first few shifts an annoyance due to the fact the metal shifter has been cooking...
Probably just as true (but in the opposite regard) for when it's cold.
Whatever tho.

I can't get over the wrinkling of the leather in the 401a, can anyone aleviate my concerns? I think the 400a might be more durable with it being perforated and ribbed.
I think I'm just going to get 400a and buy a 401 shifter and boot.
I know it's stupid but I can't get over it.... It bugs the crap out of me
Maybe the people sitting in these cars were really fat?
