Default Mustang GT-New options for 2006

I've gone through every thread, and so far I've read that for 2006, Ford will offer two different colors, (Tungsten is my favorite), an 18-inch wheel (Using BFG G-force tires), and a Limited Slip Differential option. I'm a bit confused with the LSD, since there is another thread discussing the clutch packs and using additive in the 2005 LSD. On the Ford web site, there is no option for LSD on the '05, and if it comes standard, I can't find any reference to it in the Ford specs sheet.

Does anyone know of any additional options that will be available in the '06 model?

Although I like the IUP, can anyone tell me if they purchased the "Dark charcoal with red interior color accent?" Are the seats mostly dark, with just the cushions in red, or is the entire seat red? I wouldn't want that, but I really like what the Shelby GT500 seats looked like in pictures from an auto show.

The red interior looks like this:

so yeah, the seats are completely red.

Rats. If they were like the Shelby GT500 is supposed to look like, I'd probably go for it with the Tungsten exterior. This is what I was hoping for:

Check out this link:

https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/...06-mustang.asp

It lists the options for the 2006 model. Of note, all 2006 models will have the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). And, it looks like the charcoal with red interior package wasn't a big seller, so it's been dropped as an option.

Standard on ALL 2005 mustangs.

Check these guys out. They make Leather seats fro the 05 Mustang and you can order them with the inserts in a number of differnt colors. They also have the leather door pads for the front and rear doors. The web site doesn't show pictures but they sent me some that look absolutely outrageous.
