Default Our mustangs

Now i was sitting in my stang yesterday and thought about something. The interior is real nice. I have the IUP but everything is black/black. The steering wheel feels nice and everything from the vents to the shaker 500 I think looks sweet as hell. I dont get why everyone throws the word cheap plastic around so freely while they are buying a pony car expecting a bmw. I just had to rant as I think our stangs priced at 24-27k is the best buy for anyone looking for power AND LOOKS.

I chose the "sport appearance with color accent package" instead of the IUP because I like the solid black dash with black vents much better but wanted the leather seats and satin-spoked steering wheel and shifter (in addition to the pedals).
I also wanted the black with dove gray interior which looks absolutely amazing with the tungston exterior.
I also wanted to get the 6 gauge cluster, but had to buy that aftermarket because it only came from the factory as part of the IUP.
I love the interiors of these cars, and think that all those whiny asshats who complain about "cheap plastic" interior are spoiled brats who don't deserve to have an S-197.

I also think the interior is great. I have the Black with Dove grey packaga and it looks amazing. I guess I could cover up the plastic with some nice rosewood burl pieces, but [:'(]!!

I always thought the top of the dashboard and center console felt cheap. The way I look at it, Ford put emphasis on performance not comfort. What other car for under $30k offers similar performance but a better interior.

I didn't think it was that bad at all. I have the IUP with the "charcoal" dash. Spice it up with a few bits from MGW and some door trim welt and I think it looks really good!

I have the silver IUP and think the interior looks amazing, especailly compared to previous Mustangs. But if you look at the base interior without the IUP you'll know why the word plastic is used a lot.

I love my interior and I dont find it cheap at all, especially considering what I paid (29k) for it. I do have to admit, that when Ford put leatherwrapped dashes on the 07 and up, it did look a hell of a lot better than mine, and I am sure it was not a huge cost involved or else they would not have done it. But hell, Im to busy concentrating on the road most of the time anyway to really care anyway. I love our carsand I know I can not stop staring at mine, as if Im in love.
