i really cannot understand the fascination with MyColor. Is the color of your gauges really that important. IMO, one of the silliest things to offer in a car.

That is not bad. I just came back form the stealership (LOL!) and just for me to have a custom Ford approved aftermarket spoiler put on (painted, mounted, everything), it was going to cost me no less than $600. The only extra I get is that the part is covered by the remainder of my 3/36K

The MyColor part isn't the most important part of the upgrade (although I have to admit I was really starting to hate that puke green color). You also get two extra gauges and the trip computer (which should have been standard equipment to begin with). Plus, the way I see it, most of the mods we do are on the outside, where other people get to see them more often than we do. At least this one I get to see all the time.

I can't seem to find it on that site... Direct link please? I'm probably going to get them mainly because I have two stepper motors dead in my cluster (he may not like that).

I got mycolor from the start on my car, but I have to say that although $300 seems a little steep IMO for it, it's a nice feature in the car to have. I like all of the feedback on the car that you get and honestly I can't deny that playing with the colors is fun lol.

I bought my 06 used and it already had the MyColor. I thought this was standard on all 05+ Mustangs :O I do like having it, the blue looks really good.

I'd consider Mycolor if all the dash lights matched. Everything else is still Ford green right?

yes. i think its worth the 300 for the mycolor and the 2 extra gauges. i personally can do without the information center, gets annoying. i don't need my car to tell me that my trunk is open or i have 318 miles left till empty.

at first i changed mycolor every few days, but now i just have it set at a nice cool blue.

oo and one cool but silly feature is the gas gauge turns red when you have about one gallon left.
