instrument upgrade package. you get 2 more gauges, 3 more buttons, a 2 line digital display, and MyColor.

edit: it might be interior upgrade... actually i think it is. so now you get a silver tone dash, chrome bezels, and silver vents too.

the post above is correct....it's "interior upgrade package"

it's pretty slick eh? i'm loving the leather wrapped steering wheel....really makes it feel like you're driving a top notch car.

Silver tone dash??? I have the premium upgrade Red leather/charcoal My dash is black, the guages, the surround, My AC vents are chrome bezzled with silver vents, and I have the brushed aluminium accent. What cars have a "silver tone dash" ? Are you talking about the aluminium accent? I would LOVE to have silver guage faces, am I misunderstanding you and thinking you are talking about the guages?

i didn't call it brushed aluminum because it's not aluminum and it's not brushed, it's just silvery plastic.

Hey Andyman,

Are you sure about that? I thought I read somewhere that there was this big fight during development over the materials used on the interior, and one of the main issues was keeping real aluminum for the dash (as opposed to silvery plastics the higher-ups were pushing for cost savings). Just curious. If I find the article I'll include the reference.

Best,

The steering wheel accents are plastic but the dash panels are aluminum.

10-4 dash is all aluminum. Steering wheel spokes and shifter accent is plastic. I would still LOVE to have silver faced guages though. Damn you for getting me excited like that!!
