Talking My Boss has a build error!

It only took me a month to notice it. I guess my car is even more unique that I thought.

What to do now... get it fixed, or keep it as is.

Difficult to see in the photo, but is that a satin vent surround from the GT500 on the driver's side?

Ford Accessory alarm system /= compatible with 2012 Boss.

I never said it was obvious. I didn't see it for more than a month. I do find it funny, now that I see it.

Is that a cruise control button in the turn signal? That's like 70's...

Your A/C faceplate on you passenger side is painted chrome and on the drivers side it's a brushed chrome?

Ding!! The center one is chrome too. I can't believe it took me so long to notice. The Boss is supposed to have the satin trim.

I think the center is chrome on all Bosses. I had to put some gaffers (blackout) tape on one corner, it was reflecting the sun....very distracting.

Hmmm. It's definitely not polished chrome in the Boss picture above your post.

Here's a close up from Ford's media shots. Mine is polished chrome.

I am not in country to look at mine right now but I have this photo. It looks like the satin one on mine, as far as I can tell. Will have to look close at all of the trim when I return but I am pretty sure all mine are satin.

EDIT: THIS IS NOT TRUE. THEY ARE SHINY BUT NOT CHROME. Mines polished and all match. Build sticker date 5/13. Friday the 13th.
