Default hate the dashboard?

I've got an '01 Cobra. I think the interior is the same for most models through 2004. I can't stand the interior. The dashboard seems so low budget for this car, especially for what it cost.

It seems like they made a huge improvement in the new mustangs for the interior.

Anyone agree with me?

Any fixes - custom dashboards, etc?

i think in my cobra the svt guages really makes things stand out better. otherwise, yea the interior is a little dated. but the hp under the hood is no issue. and thats my main concern. [8D]

and plus on the new stang, i just cannot get over how BIG they are. i'll take my small new edge car any day!

Could be a little better, but after I clean and apply some Armor All, I'm happy with it. Try some Autometer gauges. I put an Autometer Lunar Boost gauge in a steering wheel pod and love it because the color matches the factory gauges. I'm going to order some more soon. I wish that they would make the plastic black instead of the charcol though.

I agree. I like the 99-04 body styles better. With an exception of the GT500.

The directions don't say how to hook it up, so let me know if you need help. It's easy, but I didn't know how to do it and spend half a day trying to hook the hose up to the boost bypass valve and actuator. I finally had to call Lethal Performance and got it fixed in less than 10 mins after that.
