For those wanting a PP dash....

[Rickycardo]

$1554.80 w/ gauges, $587.75 less gauges. Looks like a weekend project.

Or wait for Performance Pack coupes to start showing up in scrapyards and totaled out for parts...

Yeah, this.

This was the only option of the PP that I actually kind of wanted. I may end up paying Ford's price down the line, but other mods take precedence.

Is the pp metal trim really metal? Looks like plastic with maybe foil glued on..

Aluminum with a vinyl applique.

Anybody know if the gauge wiring's already in place? Is it a straight plugin hook-up?

Unfortunately, no. I wanted to do this, but there are literally 100 different main wire harness's depending on what options you have. Auto or manual. Nav or no nav, shaker, and gauges or no gauges. It can be done, but you have to replace the entire main dash harness which entails removing the entire dash assembly. Labor alone would top $1000, plus the parts.
Damn!

I thought there was someone on this forum that supercharged their GT and picked up a PP dash from an Ecoboost with the boost gauge and it was a direct plug in.

Also, can't see how Nav would impact the harness at all.

It also matters if you have auto or manual. Shaker or not. Nav or not, etc. etc. Go to Fordparts.com and see how many main dash harness's there are. That guy had the PP already. Swapping out the GT PP gauges for Eco gauges with the boost function is easy as seen on the CJ Pony Parts website.

To do this swap correctly, it's a $3000 adventure. I've got my PP dash and Eco gauge cluster for sale $600 for all. Dash has some very slight scratches. Why I got it so cheap.

I think all he did was replace the vacuum gauge in his gt pp with the vac/boost gauge from the ecoboost

Because there would have to be a place to plug in the gps antenna??:shrug:

Holy smokes ! I'm glad I got the performance pkg on my gt

I opted out of the PP due to getting the 50th Ann package, which included wheels and if you got that and the PP, you didn't get two sets of wheels or credit for getting one set of wheels.

Also, since my Eco is a DD, the summer tires didn't make much sense, and at 54, I'm not a black wheel guy AT ALL. YUK!

I did put on a set of GT front brakes, which are the PP brakes on the Eco and man, what a difference. Tracked the car at Barber and my instructor was VERY impressed with the braking on the car. I plan on adding Steeda springs or Eibach's and some beefier sway bars, so outside of any computer tuning, which my dealer can most likely do, and the larger radiator, I'll end up with a PP essentially. Albeit without the awesome center gauges, which I thought was the coolest thing about the PP, but not worth $2000. It's certainly not worth the $3500+ it'd take now to do the conversion the right way, and as fickle as these computerized cars are, no way am I going messing around with wiring harness's!
