Did I see Shaker under your switches? I thought the shaker system wasn't available for the V6?
All mustangs are branded with shaker. Only the premium models get the 9 and 12 speaker options though...

Mine doesn't have shaker on it. Wouldn't make sense for it to be branded shaker if it doesn't have the shaker system.

Those look awesome.
One question I'm sure you can answer. What makes the difference in the look of the material? Is it more of the material used or the process for production? Or both? Just curious.

Great job! When you get them all in can we see it at night? I'd like to see how they light up. How easy are they to install? Do I need to take apart my dashboard?

The key to why this one looks different from prototype 1 is in post processing. Prototype 1 was "polished" or placed in a tumbler full of abrasive material to smooth the surface. Prototype 2 did not receive this treatment (not offered for the black plastic) which is why the surface is on the whole rougher then prototype 1.

I should have some pictures of prototype 2 at night soon!

The toggles themselves are very easy to install. The issues comes in the fact that you do have to disassemble most of the dash (trim, console) to get to the OEM buttons. That is something I cannot change. Everything is held in with clips though and is rather easy to disassemble. Just takes time. I estimate 2 hrs install time.

I must say... Black looks amazing!

Prototype 2 is in and working perfectly!

Such a tease with these pics! Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to get the center console out?

Or parts diagram even? I'm guessing you somehow remove the carbon fiber faux trim then you can get at it?
