I dunno, but I'd be worried about bricking my car, not sure that would be covered under warranty?

"But Ford, all I did was load YOUR update. Fix it" Easily written off as a corrupted update. No way the stealership could tell you modded those skins.

But how would you test the themes since you can only install the updates once?

This is the time we get friendly with the service tech's to see how they can force an update to the car :)

Im no flash expert

I've used Flash a while back, and I noticed this back on one of the first sync updates. Im afraid that all I was able to to was open the .swf files in flash professional cs5. I could only play the file in the timeline, no modifications were possible. I think you'd need the source files (.fla) in order to re skin or make modifications. im not 100% sure on this, but Id imagine it would be quite a involved process to decompile and not mess up any of the code that makes MFT work.

If you find out anything let us know I am interested in making some graphic mods
