Default dash upgrade?

On my 05 gt, I don't have the interior upgrade package, and I want to get the instument cluster with the extra 2 gauges and mycolor. I checked where the buttons would be if I had that dash and I do have the plug for it above the deck. I was wondering if anyone makes these, I checked at Ford and they want an arm and a leg for one. I thought I read on here before of someone makin these, but I don't remember. Thats in advance for the help.

Its a plug and go deal.. Alls ya gotta do is whenever you go to order call them and he will ask what your mileage will be around whenever you receive the parts then you just pull the old one out plug in the new one.. same deal with the buttons you will need.. easy peasy...

Have you done this before, like do the dash upgrade?I tried writing to them but I don't seem to be getting any responces, guess I will have to call them. and yes, I love the way the exhaust sounds on my car, but I don't think the police like it too much, or the people I pass on the road at WOT, lol. I would like to get some 4.10's, I took it to the track last year, and those 3.55's launch like crap, I figure with a set of 4.10's I will be close to hittin 12s quater mile times.

No personally I haven't done the interior upgrade myself, although that is my next appearance mod. I have just talked to alot of ppl who have done it themselves and such.. Yeah I would think those 3.55's in that manual is death with all those mods lol.. Yeah I always get followed by cops for a good while and then they just finally turn off.. I dont think they have the energy to crawl on the ground to check my exhaust lol
