I've made up my mind and I'm going with a base GT for the cloth seats. Is it possible to swap out the instrument cluster and pieces on the dash to make it look like the premium - leather seats

Gene K already pointed me in the right direction for the 18R steering wheel. I would like MyColor and the white gauges etc...

thanks

 

I tried and couldn't. Who knows. I would have loved to have gotten cloth but options I wanted warranted me getting leather...

 

to make the my color functional you cant just swap the gauge cluster. This project will get stupid expensive so fast it will make you head spin

 

Here's the Mycolor kit ("footwell and cupholder") : 9A8Z-13E700-AA-M10

Pretty sure the cluster is something different...

 

Thank you! I'll have to search around for more cluster info, havn't found any yet.

 

I think it would be cheaper to buy the premium and swap in the cloth seats. If you are doing this for financial reasons, you should really think it through before ordering.

 

I plan on redoing the whole sound system so no real need for the shaker 500, cloth seats are so much more comfortable in this 105 degree heat! On top of the premium paying CA sales tax isn't something I'm looking forward to so the base is more in my price range unless I can get a killer deal below invoice on a premium.

 

unless the wiring harness is there. if it is, it cost me less than 300 to swap to mycolor and be functional (all new dealer parts, gt500 cluster even)

 

GT-500 Cluster has things like a boost gauge etc. 99% sure its a diff harness even from the premium to non premium GT let alone GT-500

 

I ordered the Premium with Cloth....did things change?

 

Wow, this is getting a little retarded...

The MyColor kit is about $226, unless the guages are plug and play and they are used from a 2010, we will humor this under $300 estimate. If that's all that will be changed out, then OK, so say we are at about $525 or so. The premium guage cluster also has 2 extra guages. Hopefully it all plugs and chugs.

Now if you take into consideration that the premium now comes with the door sills, even on the cheap, that's an added $177. So we are up to about $700. Throw in the price of a nicer steering wheel, $1000. See how Shaun said this can add up quickly?

Also, the premium does not come with cloth. Premium not equal cloth except on the floor.

 

What two gauges does the premium have that the base doesn't?

 

Base GT has only Fuel and Temp in the center.
Premium GT has Fuel, Temp, Oil Level and Voltage.

 

But I need extra wire for oil level and voltage gauges?

Thanks
