Default adding silver/aluminum dash bezel??

I have noticed some cars did not come with the silver dash bezel that goes all the way across. how much of a job is adding this and how expensive is the part??

Its a fairly simple install but its going to be SUPER expensive to buy the parts. the passenger side air bag is one of those 4 panels and just that piece sells for $775 from the dealer. Find a guy that has the kit from his own car that he converted to a race car. Thats your best bet. I think I might stillhave my entire kit laying in storage from my conversion. PM me and make me an offer and I'll let you know if I can find it.

Actually that is not correct as you don't need to replace the entire passenger side airbag as the cover is available seperately. I think the entire IUP silver dash is under $400 new from Ford (4 seperate pieces along with 4 silver/chrome vents) or you could do any of the other dash styles as well including the GT500, Bullitt or Carbon Fiber look. But I would look around as these dash sets are always popping up on forum classifieds for 1/2 that price or less.

The swap out process is fairly simple and can be done in an hour or 2.

Here's a good thread to reference - http://forums.themustangsource.com/s...d.php?t=466576

Take a look at these also, they have a couple different kits and you can get them in a variety of colors. Then its a little more origianl and unique than just the stock IUP.
