I am new to these forums and joined becasue I'm trying to read up on/learn more about the new Mustangs (might be buying one in the near future.)

I do have a question I hope someone can answer. If we do buy a Mustange, we will likely get a 'base' model, not a premium model (my fiancee hates leather seats, we will need to stick with the base model and cloth.) With that said, can someone tell me (or better yet post pictures) of what color the Dashboard/guages light up at night in the base model (the one without the 'my color' feature)?

I know a few years ago, the dash/guages lit up a pale green color. I want to know if that is still the same with the 2010s and 2011s or not.

Thanks

My '10 is blueish-green

The Mustange looks better w/ the fabric interior.

A high-quality fabrique is better than leather.

It has better grip during cornering.

It is cooler in the summer.

IMO it looks better than leather.

I tend to agree for the most part with wingless. I had 2006 GT with leather interior. Unlike wingless I thought it looked very nice, but it wasn't nearly as comfortable as the cloth seats in my 2010 V6. The cloth seats are not only more comfortable but in my opinion easier to take care of. No need for leather treatment and eventually all leather just starts to look worn form being sat on.

The instrument panel now is illuminated by a pale blue color. I think it's an improvement over the age old green that Ford used for a long time. I never had much use for the color changing feature. It's just a gadget. Most drivers will pick a color that suits them and never use it again.

I got the base model too and the dash lights are blueish green like the other person said, The one thing I noticed after buying mine was that I was getting a static shock everytime I got out of the car...put some leatherlike seat covers and haven't been shocked since, plus the seat covers protect the fabric seats.

Good luck!

This is the type of interior fabric I prefer, above that offered in either the base or the premium Mustang trim.

lol thats great, I'm glad to know it's not just me.

the 'standard' instrument lighting is called 'ice blue', a mostly light blue color (not as purplish as VW's) with a slight tint of green, i think it looks great in its simplicity

Those of you getting the shock when you get out of your car. Plant your hand ont he plastic door sill that runs along the opening instead of the metal part. Worked for me.

I have the "my color" option on my car. Its kinda cool to tell people about, but it hasn't changed in the entire time I've owned the car. I set it on a blueish color and left it.
