Yeah, if you get the complete Boss version. It's basically like Defi's in the Z.

But if you buy the Pod yourself ($85) you can add three separate guages for $55-85 each.

It would be a PITA drilling the dash, though. It'd be a lot easier to go with an A-pillar setup.

Roush also offers a pretty nifty air vent pod, which would fit right in the driver's side vent.

Yeah, I get that. Im also never wiring gauges like that again. Too much work.

Yeah, if I do it I'm going to do something like that vent guage or an A-pillar replacement. So much easier.

yeah those gauges are reminiscent of the Z gauges...

Where does the wiring go on the Roush pod?

m4a1mustang · 10-07-2011, 01:51 PM

I clean mine with a soft MF towel. If there is dust on the surface lightly dust it off, then clean with whatever product you use. Light pressure, too. I do that for all clear plastic surfaces.

Smaller exterior dimensions
Direct Injection, probably rated 450hp
IRS

Ford also says it will NOT have the pure retro-style, but will definitely look like a Mustang.

/\ looking forward to it, that's gonna be one nasty ride!

Love seeing cars get better and better, stuff like this forces all the manufacturers to up their game.
