I was just lookin around on ebaymotors at taurus's when i came across this one:

Look at all the pictures and specifically the one with the picture of the speedometer, tach, etc. also notice that it has the floor shift...

I thought if you bought a floor shift model you didnt get a gear indicator?

That is interesting, mine doesn't have it, but I've also seen a few GEN IV with a window brake light AND a spoiler brake light....

it only came in 96

Thats becuase someone added the spoiler aftermarket. It didn't come with the car.

I have a '96 LX with the shift indicator and floor shifter....even tho i never pay attention to the indicator...the tempo had me trained to look down

I kinda wish mine had the indicator, but it was 96 only. but I've used it for other things.

What about that little red light on the column. Is it for a car alarm?

EDIT: read the actual description. Nevermind.

Well that is odd. So i take it from ya'lls reponses that this is just a 96 thing. Anyone know the reason why they didnt put a gear indicator for the floor shift on the other years? Cost savings

?

you said it

 

[bull geek]

Seems like an odd place to go for cost savings but ok. Thanks

IMO, it's redundant to have another gear indicator on the dash when it's on the floor shifter.

 

[XLSuruaT]

My maxima has it, many luxury cars have it, sorta helps if you are too lazy to look down

What's with the front bumper?

 

[silvapain]

It looks like that bumper tape you can buy to "protect" your bumpers and side panels from minr dings.

Here's my bull with Factory installed spoiler (note no brake light on rear deck)

My tail lights are like yours too Trooper, but I have seen two with both, and one person I spoke too and it was an SES and they bought it new like that. Maybe they decided to put the spoiler on later at ford?

Although my car is definately NOT as clean as yours!!

The seller is from the New York/New Jersey area. Those things are standard equipment up there.
