kahmann Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Welcome aboard Mike. It's too bad you couldn't have found a far superior blue SGT, but that black one isn't too shabby either. Any pics under the hood? What kind of other mods have you been compelled to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Come on Ken, you know your car would be much faster if it were black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmn444 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 this is the only dash upgrade I wanted I think i've seen somebody on here do carbon fiber overlays though.... not sure..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I'm sure you'll get some input about your dash question. Welcome to TS, Mike! Don't worry about Ken. Even though his car is only blue, it's still kinda nice.... More pics are always welcome. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azmartin Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 We Black SGT owners stick together. Shelby built the most of the best color anyway. Nice to have you with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmn444 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 You can purchase all the items you need directly from ford. Yeah, I don't know the price difference, but you might be happier long run with oem stuff over the stick on stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michschi Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yeah, I don't know the price difference, but you might be happier long run with oem stuff over the stick on stuff... I called my local ford dealer and they couldn't give me a good answer. Can anyone get me a price on the Aluminum for the upper dash all the way across!

LGSchmidtJr Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Welcome, Mike I too want to upgrade my dash and my first choice is the IUP Kit from Ford. However, this is my second choice. They make both carbon fiber and satin alum kits: http://www.silverhorseracing.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16204&category_id=254 and they appear to make quality stuff.

pottydr Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I purchased a dark charcoal kit on Ebay for 173.00 and changed out my silver one, It took about 1 hour and was easy, when I put it all back together I only had 3 screws left over, I can live with that, btw I sold the bright aluminium dash to a TS member, Rick I called my local ford dealer and they couldn't give me a good answer. Can anyone get me a price on the Aluminum for the upper dash all the way across! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys have OEM take-offs: http://stores.ebay.c...-Salvage?_rdc=1 Hey Ken...we all know BLACK was your 1st choice... Thanks everyone for the welcome! I made a good find online last night. EBAY, I found a brand new Bullit dash for 300 and cancelled my dash kit order. Anyone know how easy it is to change these panels out. The two that look the most difficult are the ones buy the instrument cluster and the the airbag one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll find lots of posts on replacing the airbag cover; in fact I think Grabber just reposted his link on that very issue. You might consider sending it in for Carroll's signature before you replace it though. Just a thought. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
