I don't have pics of my guts, but mine is black where yours is light grey. The rest looks the same except the flow-through console. And I think the a/c vents in mine are chrome, but to be honest i'm not sure, guess I should pay more attention. Duh!!

This is what I get with my VIN. This is the top section of hte console, with the drink holders in the back and the hinged lid attaches to it. The "Warm Steel" is the color.

I found a couple of posts earlier, but didn't have time to get them linked in here. I'll try to do that now.

For chits and giggles I looked again on fordparts.com and found this PDF file. Might be of some help to us all.

Thanks x2mosg, I just got back on the computer and was about to go hunting for them.

No Sweat. I gotta find this stuff for myself, so might as well share.

My Int/Trim code is QB. That gives me 2 colors according to the chart in the PDF file above, Black and Charcoal Black. I assume the Charcoal Black is the trim pieces, even though they're otherwise called Warm Steel.

Here are a couple of pics:

Ya know, it my be the black throwing off the eyes, but I think the pod will match up pretty well with yours.

Yeah I think the black is decieving, and maybe that 1/2" layer of dust on everything. Been planting greens/food plots the last few weeks. Boy it's dusty here. The grey is actually pretty dark. I'd bet it's within a shade or two of yours. Frustrating part is we're getting 2 or 3 different color choices from Ford even. Looks like a trial and error thing short of getting a custom color match type thing.

Just found this place. Looks pretty promising. Not cheap, but promising. I don't have a local place to mix custom rattle cans, so I'm limited. Small town.

Played around with my paints and old dash pod. Tried the Dark flint(which it should be says Ford) and again too light. Tried putting it over black base coat. Tried other gray paints. Tried spraying Dark flint and black at the same time

. Then smacked it across garage with nearby hammer.

If it can't be fixed with Duct Tape or a ball-pean hammer, it can't be fixed! I wasted some money on a can of Duplicolor charcoal grey last night, and a waste it was. Not even close.

I ordered a custom rattle can from the link above. It ain't cheap, so I hope it works.
