I really like my '05 Mustang Convertable, but there are a few things just driving me nuts with it. One of these minor things is the cupholder. It comes with 2 cupholders. The first one (nearest to the dash) is the right size for me. The second one is much much too big and whenever I put a cup in it, I end up with a spill because it is just too big.

I noticed that professor wizard put the following image that had a different cupholder in the second opening.Image

Is that just a different kind of cup? Did you get a smaller cupholder? I'm looking for some ideas on what to do with that second cup holder. I've been toying with the idea of carving my own insert but was wondering if I'm missing somethings here like a rubber insert. I bought my car new from the dealership, but they missed giving me some things like the owner's manual until I started complaining.

Luc....

That is actually a hard plastic Coolie Cup with a Red neoprene cover. That enlarged cup holder is just right for a soda can WITH a coolie over it. I keep that coolie in there all the time.

LOL That's what I thought.

Does anyone know if a rubber insert is available. I think older versions of the Mustang had this insert.

Where can I get a fancy WOOD shift **** for my '06 GT? What's the nicest brake lever ****, and where can I get real leather boots for the shift and brake levers? Finally, what the best fancy fuel door? Thanks, H.

Professor Wizard,

I just acquired a sweet, slightly used 05 premium convertible.

I was surprised that it has so few emblems on the car and NO blue oval badge except on the spinners on the wheels.

I located a kid in TN that does custom colored FORD badges in all colors and sizes. I had him do a 3.5 inch FORD oval in gloss black (the insert color, usually FORD blue, is black and the whole item is refinished in a poly-urethane. They can be applied on the exterior or interior.

I positioned the new badge on the dash (interior is black and gray), it is located over the glove box and has the same black and chrome coloring as the vents. It looks so sharp and so factory.

He does the badges custom for other colors and sizes. His site is www.planetauto.com and he was very responsive to e-mails and efficient with his service.

Once I figure out how to do the photos, I will include one.

In addition to the badges that I mentioned above, I also upgraded my door sills with the OEM aluminum plates.

MUSTANG TUNING.com sells decal inserts to fill in the stamped out MUSTANG logo. I did the insert color in matte black (interior is gray and black). They are sharp.

Here is a place for Dash Kits. Not only is this the cheapest place to get the kits, BUT ALSO, on the Mustang kit they have, they cut out the word MUSTANG on the piece that goes over the glove box. Pretty cool! There are lots of things you can do with that by putting underlay behind it to make the letters stand out. They have a large variety of materials available. However, they will not “split” a kit so if you want to mix/match like I did, you have to buy two kits.

You can order 2 samples for free from them to help you decide what material you want.

I purchased and installed Red/Black Carbon Fiber and a Real Aluminum kits from them for my car.
