ordered it from ford in their parts dept but you can also order em online

2011 Ford Mustang Aluminum Sport Pedals

you can find cheaper performance pedals elsewhere but I wanted the OEM look

Thanks for the info :beer:

That's cotton candy right there, mang !!! :rockon:

Thats right Chris :lol1:

That is the exact shift nob I want to get because it will match my interior. Looks as good as I hoped it would.

Yes, I have already gotten several positive comments on the knob at a couple of cruise-ins!! :rockon:

Big improvment!

Thanks Jay :beer:

All the base cars have cloth interior and all the premium cars have leather interior.

The base cars have black faced gauges and don't have the 'My Color' dash so the blue is the only color for the dash lights.

The premium cars have white faced gauges and the 'My Color' dash so that you can choose the color of your dash lights.

The regular 18" inch wheels are standard on the base and premium models. The Brembo brakes are an option on the base and premium models.

How many guages do you have in your instrument cluster?

If it's 4 like Greg's (z28th1s) then it's not a premium, if it's 6, it is...

Looks great! I'm doing the steering wheel swap asap as well. I like how the base shift knob feels but your new one looks better. How does it feel compared to the stock one?

The volume buttons on the wheel don't work?

I like the feel of the new knob. I used to run the chrome stick Hurst shifters with the white ball shift knobs on my Foxbodies over the years, so I'm very used to the feel of the round shifter knobs.

No, the volume buttons don't work.
