I have a base GT and the dash is not smooth to the touch. It is aluminum with a black pattern on it. It feels rough to the touch. I painted it flat black and the pattern can still be seen and felt.

I suspect this may be part of a running change. I can find an image of a base GT with the textured dash;

A base EB with the brushed aluminum;

Also a youtube video ([ame]) where it's clearly the brushed aluminum piece on a base GT.

Maybe this is like the door cards where they were putting the wrong ones in at first?

I actually like my stock brushed aluminium in my Performace Pack Mustang.. Looks somewhat similar..

Base V6 get the textured "carbon fiber"

Standard EB & GT get brushed aluminum

PP gets engine turned aluminum

I can see how in photos the PP and V6 look similar, but I assure you they are not. Only the V6 has texture, all the others will be smooth to the touch.

Good information. Also, it appears that the 50th AP comes with the brushed aluminum. So if you order PP with 50th AP you will actually lose the engine turned aluminum and have the brushed aluminum dash. This can be seen on the website when building one but seems like it might have been messed up when the earlier orders went through.

OK, several of you guys have got this all wrong.

V-6 cars Only, get the Black Plastic, Textured "Carbon Fiber" Finish Dash Trim seen in the first post.

Base model Eco-Boost and GT'S get what is called a Dark, Diamond Patterned, Aluminum Finish Dash Pictured at the top of this page by DrBrian.

Premium and Premier Trim Eco-Boost and GT's get the Horizontally Brushed Aluminum Dash Trim.

Performance PackageEco-Boostand GT's get the Engine Turned (a Small Overlapping, Semi Circular Pattern) Aluminum Dash Trim with the Center Gages.

Anniversary Package and Limited Edition Models both get an Engine Rolled (a Long, Crossing/Overlapping, Diagonal Brushed Finish) Aluminum Finish. Cars with the Performance Package that are NON Limited Editions and the Limited Editions both get the Same Engine Rolled Finish Aluminum Dash Trim with the Center Gages.

The Engine Turned Finish used on Eco-Boost and GT Performance Package cars is Not a Simulated Carbon Fiber Look. Engine Turning far pre dates Carbon Fiber appearing in Aircraft as far back as 1915.

I don't know about the premium trim but the PP is "fake" over laid plastic turned aluminum looking trim...

That is correct. The panel is real aluminum and expensive. However, the design is an epoxy (not sure) coating that is glued to it so its not real engine turned. Under it is real metal - this was discussed in the forums - some people peeled it away. I wish they etched the metal, but guess it was for cost reasons? Looks good though and I hope it lasts.

With the exception of the V-6's Black Plastic "Carbon Fiber" Textured Dash, all 2015 Mustangs have REAL Aluminum Dash Trim, with unique Finishes Applied to the Alluminum Veneer, which is mounted to a Plastic Backing.

Correct and you forgot the 50th Anniversary and Limited Dash.

Well you have to remember that the factory has screw ups and also sometimes if they are out of a piece, they might use another piece that day. We've seen lots of pics of cars with mismatching pieces. Hell we saw a V6 with a GT hood on the lot.

Also don't forget some people have ordered their own dashes and swapped them already.
