If our dash's will bolt right into a 'Stang why doesn't it work the other way around...just curious.

Cougar dash?  I didn't think digi clusters got systems sentry?  Also why is there a prem. fuel switch and a ride controll switch.
 
Also the console fits like  and why does it have a clutch pedal?
 
I am diging the systems sentry up high like that.  Kind of where the mn12's put it.

It's called interchange - mix & match. This guy want's ALL the cool stuff and he want's it located where he wants it. I wonder how much of that stuff actually works?

Interesting. I'm surprised he stayed with the fake wood stuff. If my car had that , it'd be the first thing to go.

Should I take the fake wood out of my 20th Anniversary Cougar?

Oh, I changed it to real wood - should I take the real wood out?

Seriously, real wood?  Haven't seen that, have any pictures?

It looks pretty strange.  I like our car's dashboards, but not enough to go through the trouble of putting it in another car.  Whatever, to each their own.

I guess I'll have to mutilate one of the few 20th Anniversary Cougars left because Cougar lovers don't like the way this special edition was designed. Who knew?

I actually love the fake wood - it's one of those cool things about this car that makes it more unique...

Well, I wouldn't change it in a 20th. I'm not a fan of the wood pattern but would definitely make an exception for one of those cars.
 
I absolutely love the pattern that's in my car. It's so cool in it's 80's styling. I'm sure not everyone likes it but I just think woodgrain in most cars interiors is cheesy.
 
Cougar5.0, you put real wood in there? That could be pretty cool. Pics?

Well, I have a Real Wood kit I bought off of Ebay but I haven't installed it yet. I may or may not install it - it's not a perfect looking kit by any stretch...
