Default dash color

I have that nasty brushed aluminum silver dash piece that runs across the whole dash and I noticed how some dashes are straight black all across. Is there a place that sells that piece? Or does it have to be painted?

Are you referring to the ribbed aluminum upper dash panels? I have the upgrade charcoal carbon fiber texture dash (perfect condition) and am looking to trade for the ribbed aluminum, but it must be in perfect condition... interested?

Did you buy your stang brand new? That "nasty brushed aluminum" piece was only put into cars with the IUP (Interior Upgrade Package).
On mine, it was a $460 add on. Of course other goodies came with that.

Nah, I bought it used. I guess maybe the red leather was another part of that upgrade?
And Scalera I'm not sure what that looks like exactly, But I may* be up for a trade IF it's and easy removal. and as far as I am concerned, it is in... perfect condition. I'll probably get some photos today.

when you guys say ribbed aluminum, are you referring to the satin aluminum?

Hey 08blackoutstang:
If you've got the ribbed aluminum and are looking for the charcoal carbon fiber, I can shoot some pix of mine and post. Looks like cgts18 is going a different route for his dash. I can send you step-by-step dash exchange link... not 1-2-3, but not a killer job either...
