ooh, pretty :bowdown:

Did you paint it silver?


Yep sure did. It originally had a gray base and black face trim. If you follow my resto thread you can see the SN95 Mustang dash swap with the same contrasting color theme.

The garage button is such that you can open the compartment and mount your garage door opener mounted on the top inside with velcro. Mine has the original virgin unused velcro still attached. When you close the compartment with the garage door opener inside and positioned correctly you can push on the GARAGE button and it will press on the opener button inside.

The compartment also had a pop in plastic bracket to hold sunglasses which can be removed to mount the garage door opener.

BTW the picture looks funny like it is mounted on a ceiling of carpet... Like a 1970's conversion van... LOL!

Ha ha I understand... I get those moments from time to time! It's a simple install if you don't have one already. There are a million Explorers in salvage yards so I had no trouble finding one.

I am however tempted to go back and look at some for Lincolns because I might find something roof mounted that will work for my 08 Mustang since I already have a forward roof mounted maplight with anti-theft motion sensors in place. I could also opt for a rearview mirror with that feature included. I had been looking in salvage yards for such, mostly in later model Cadillacs but no so luck yet. My Mustang has been on the back burner since I have been working on the Tbird. But then again the Mustang is a car I really don't desire to do too much modifying unless it just seems appropriate.
