    I have noticed on a lot of 05 mustangs gt and v6 that there are only 4 gauges, tac,fuel,temp,and mph. But All the 06 and 07 mustangs I've seen there are 6 gauges, did they not start adding the 2 extra ones until this year? Can anybody shed some light on my wierd question, I am just curious.

    The oil and battery gauges come with the IUP, Interior Upgrade Package. Yes they do come on the 05's and 06's. Its a $450 option. Which u want cause it allows you to change the colors of ur instrument panel too. :)

    yea that changing the color of the instrument panel is really cool! I wonder how many colors you can choose from yea it almost makes getting the IUP a necessity instead of an option.

    I got the IUP and am glad I did.
    But there's something wrong when one has to order oil & battery gauges as an option on a car like a Mustang. My 66 came with them standard, as did both my 95 GT & 96 Cobra...

    I recently did the IUP retrofit because my car didn't come with it. With all of the different color combos I still use the same old green the car came with. In my opinion the information center with system checks is the best reason for having it.
