IUP is described in a couple of the posts above. The Sport Interior Package gives you the nicer steering wheel and shifter, metal interior door handles, metal petals, and vinyl inserts on the doors. Your dash would be black (or parchment, I guess) without the silver panels. You do not get the MyColor, message center or the extra two "gauges".
In your opinion, was the ambient lighting really worth $300?
If I had to order another Mustang GT, I'd still avoid getting the IUP because everyone's S197 and their sister's S197 has the IUP. I actually had a few S197 GT owners come up to my GT and ask what I did to the interior because it looked very different. I told them it was the base interior. Even all of the rental S197's I have seen had the IUP.
Be careful with the ambient lighting - I have been told by a few people that have it that since the cupholders have a ring of light, it can be EXTREMELY distracting.
Why would you NOT want to get a fairly inexpensive option that makes your car feel so much nicer? So you aren't like everyone else? That seems like horrible logic to me. There is a reason why its a popular option... As a side note, I've had about 10 mustangs as rentals, only one of which had the package...
The other thing that really sets off the interior is the Premier Trim Package. It includes everything that the Sport appearance package has, but then adds the leather wrapped dash and center console lid, and upgraded arm rests. It only is $50 more than the Sport Appearance Package.

Yeah, really. If you want something different, get the charcoal weave dash. That looks outstanding, and less people have it.
Gotcha. I was thinking that the sport interior may have been in addition to the IUP, but it looks like you can get one or the other. The only thing I'm having a hard time understanding now is the premier trim package. It probably would look too cheap and plasticky without the package.

After all this, I think I have decided to go with a Bullitt. I drove one and it runs quite a bit better. 3.73 rear and an additional 20 horse really helps(mostly the gearing, Im sure). Plus I like the cleaner look and exclusivity. I thought they were supposed to be hard to find, though? My dealer has four of them.
