Hi Ryan -

Your's is the "older" model Gryphon. The "new" ones don't work on pre-04 model year trucks. One of the changes, in addition to changes in the electronics, was the design of the pod. You have the correct pod for your Gryphon.

Finding a commercial source of pre-mixed paint to match your interior (the dash) is going to be about impossible. I don't think it exists. Edge actually used that pod with the newer model Evolution for a while and it was what I had at first. I tried several colors, and finally found a medium metallic grey that looked OK. But, a custom paint shop could probably mix a rattle can of paint that would match, and it wouldn't be TOO expensive. I think you need to go to a place that paints cars for this, not Home Depot. You might have to take some part of the dash off, so they could analyze the color, but that would be about it.

The pod takes paint very well. I just washed mine off with 409 and then, after rinsing it well, wiped it down with 91% isopropyl alcohol, which you can find at a drugstore (don't get the 70% "rubbing alcohol" - it can contain some oils). I used DupliColor spray and had no problems at all.

I don't know that there's any set list of extra "goodies" that come with the Gryphon. Corey likes to surprise people with these things and it's possible the choice is random, or, is based on what they have on hand at the time.

Regardless though, I think you're going to enjoy what the programmer does for your truck!
