Velocity Blue was my first choice while in the process of buying a new car, but dealer games got old and Carmax had my Lime in mint condition. Had Ford not dropped it for 2022 I quite possibly would have ordered a new one with my normal Ford Guy. Sadly he had 1 GT in inventory and not what I wanted.

That is a nice touch. I have the red stitching everywhere but the dash pad on my GT/CS! Found out after my order was in the works that the red stitching on dash was only available with 401A package. I ordered the 400A because I wanted the analog look.
Still happy I got the analog gauges....even without red stitching.

If you have white stitching (Ford calls silver in some literature), it's pretty easy to DIY.

My car came with red stitching and when Ford offered console covers and knee panels with red stitching in a newer model year, I wanted to add it. Couldn't find red stitch except for mucho dollars from a dealer but found NIB white stitch console and knee panels for cheap. Bought them, used a dye marker and it's a perfect match to the factory red.

If you do it, I suggest you get dye that does NOT specify heat to set. MOST do as they are made for clothing that will be ironed after application to set the dye. Those are okay but don't stand up as well to cleaning, even with plain water without heating after application. Why risk fading over time?

Pretty easy to do. Drag a dye pen for cloth over the stitches. Dye soaks into the cloth stitches but wipes off the surrounding "leather".

My dyed stitching panel (below original):

Of course not an option if you have the molded fake stitching from the factory.

Hoping for some help, didnt know where to post. I am unfortunately looking at selling my beautiful mustang. I have a JLT oil separator passenger side installed, should I take that off and put stock piece back on before selling/trading it in and then try to sell for cheap somewhere? I would just rather help out another fellow person that is looking to put it on there car then just give it to a dealership?

I would remove it and put the OEM hoses back on. You would be giving the JLT away for free if you sold the car because nobody will pay extra for it. If you take it off, you can at least sell it to somebody and get a bit of coin back. Sorry to hear you're selling your car.

One way is to take a picture that includes a piece of paper with your M6G ID and the date. Then post in the classified forum and/or your regional forum here.

Or CL where you can meet a buyer somewhere public to exchange if you don't want hassle of shipping.
