2002 = Midnight Black - Standard basic interior color - a grey color = Nudo^TM Leather
2003 to 2005 = Black Ink - Standard basic interior color - blacker than the 2002 color - rougher texture to leather and vinyl = Imola^TM Leather
Caution, the "Black Ink" interior of the 03 to 05s is much blacker than the "midnight black" interior of the 02 - be careful when buying a touch up paint for the interior. Test the color first to see if it matches your interior.

A warning - if you love light colored interiors, be aware that you have to do more cleaning care than ordinary.
It's a fact of life, not something that Ford did wrong. You're not dealing with an easily cleanable vinyl but a real, "live" leather. It will stain, it will wear.

Available with any standard* exterior color choice for 2002 and 2003		2004 & 2005 - The center stack on the black accent interiors has a metallic finish, not noticeable until I used a flash and checked my digital photos when getting back home.. I'll be checking other 2004 models in the future to see how this is carried out through out the rest of the dash, such as the the shift plate and the arm rests and try to compare it with some 2003s.

The Boot 2002		Top off or down Photos	How to install the 2002 boot.
.
Install Tip for all years: Lubricate the snaps for ease of snapping and unsnapping. The snaps are tight and may pull from fabric if unlubricated. Lubricate inside of female snap with one of the following: white grease, vaseline, color crayon(wax), bar of soap. Any of these applications should be done 2 or 3 times a years or more often, depending on how often you use your boot. DO NOT get grease, vaseline or wax on your boot fabric as it will stain. Apply with very small artists paint brush or toothpick. Once the snaps are lubricated, the boot goes on and off quickly with little effort. Tip For unsnapping a balky snap: If you haven't lubricated your snap and it appears too tight and might pull thru fabric, use a pocket knife to pry apart the male & female snap.

The Boot 2003		This is a softer boot than the 2002 boot. It replaces the 2002 if you must need a replacement. This boot will fold and store in the small compartment in your trunk. Owners say it's easier to install than the 2002 boot. This is the "black" boot that is standard in the 03's and optional in the 04s and 05s. Remember to order it if you're getting an 05.
The procedure for installing the 03-05 boot is slightly different. We have found with ours, that doing the snaps first is best, then tuck in the sides and back. Do lubricate the snaps for a quicker install as stated above.
	and 2004	This is the light sand color boot that may be ordered with the Sand package for 04 and 05.	and 2005

* standard color choices do not include the special edition models such as the Neiman Marcus and the 007 Bond edition.
