Thanks guys! The Aeroforce gauges come in several different colors, but you have to order them that way. They came with black and white faces, and black and silver bezels so you can personalize a bit. They are made to order, basically. I got mine from Marylandspeed.com who had them on sale (they still might), and also Lethal performance sells them too. I got the SOS pillar from Lethal. The gauges do not display "analog" style, what you see there is what you get. You can invert the colors is all (the text vs background color). They are very cool as you can display about 20-25 different parameters.

I like the side bar decals, but I had the same ones on my 2007, so thats a given.

I really enjoyed that 07 GT auto, then sold it to buy an 09 GT in manual because I was convinced I wanted a manual to do the supercharger. I did, and as some of you know that have been around here a while, I just never really was feeling that 09 and always missed my 07. After getting laid off last year I sold the 09, then finally picked up this '10 in automatic a few months ago which was as close as I could get to the 2007.

The wheels and style on this car are a bit of an ode to that 2007 I should have never sold. You'll see some similarities.

IMO, paint the GT emblems black, it will match your color scheme perfectly. I only say this cause I have the same silver car, black wheels, blackout back theme going on! LOL

Did you take off the emblems to paint them?

I went to the Marylandspeed site but there's no mention of the double cable. Is the twin head OBDC Link cable in that purchase or do you have to order it seperately ??

Yup. Used fishing line with a sawing motion. They come off really fast, under two minutes. There are a couple of alignment pins that poke through the sheetmetal. You just hit it from the opposite side when you feel you have come across one. Emblem is plastic so you wanna be careful not to break it. I then sanded it down a bit then sprayed with some black paint for plastic. Reapplied with auto doublestick tape from Napa.

Here is more of a close up.

I bought the gauges as a set of 2, and they came with the dual cable. I do have a brand new vacuum/boost sensor kit I'm not going to use, so I'll be posting that for sale on here shortly (I decided to do a 3rd dedicated mechanical boost gauge). That kit allows the AeroForce to show vac/boost... If one of you guys wants that before I post it up, just PM me.

Looks good 808! I may think about doing that...
