Some guys like turbo wheel flairs, some hate them but neither guy is right or wrong, he just knows what he likes (options are why Ford no longer sells only one truck in any color you want as long as its black).\r\n\r\nAnytime one of these little icons is saved from the scrap heap we should be celebrating so that the next generation can experience the era some of us grew up in... You know - hand crank windows & a radio with knobs & no bluetooth, park assist, lane departure technology or power steering.

Its all there. \r\n\r\nThis is a beautiful car... Sure a cracked dashboard is a bummer but big deal, wait 3 years to find a perfect crack-free dash on eBay like I did & then take the weekend to install it.
