[HELP] cluster swap?!

[HELP] cluster swap?!
I have 08 V6, manual, no ABS/TCS/IUP
Few days back, I opened my stock radio and
found there was a connector behind dummy switch cover next to cigar jack.
And today, I just find thread about IUP mod.
And I really want to have 6 guage cluster.
I think I need:
cluster from 07+ V6 pony package (If I found used part)
(as long as I know, Pony pkg has 6 guage cluster and IUP option.
And 07+ has TPMS. I'm afraid GT cluster will give me misreading on speed)
switch for mycolor control (07+)
And maybe a trip to dealer to reflash the cluster.(Hope not)
Are these correct?
Will GT part really give me error?
Can it be done without visiting dealer?
Any other ideas/inputs??

I found these info. (It is for 06+ stangs. I don't know yet for older stangs.)
Part number for Mustang Instrument cluster:
#R3$-10849-&@
# = model year
$ = 3 for GT or V6, V for GT500
& = F for V6 6 gauge KPH unit, E for V6 6 gauge MPH unit.
B for V6 4 gauge KPH unit, A for V6 4 gauge MPH unit.
D for GT 4 gauge KPH unit, C for GT 4 gauge MPH unit.
H for GT 6 gauge KPH unit, G for GT 6 gauge MPH unit.
@ = either A, B, C, or D.
So, basically,I'll need 8R33-10849-E@.
But I don't know which one has my color option.
But some Canadian members used FA clusters for their conversion.
Should I look for "8R33-10849-EA"?

I have been doing some reading on this and wish that someone would come forward with some conclusive evidence on parts needed and the deal with the reflash from the dealer is (when its needed and such).

How bout readin the Ford Workshop Manualon the cluster replacement procedure
including the Module Configuration thats needed for a swap like that.
Its been covered bout umpteen times.
Do a search of cluster in the S197 section and see...
