Order Change Request: How Should a Before-and-After Spec Be Written?
List the current choice beside the requested choice so support can see exactly what should change. Keep the vehicle and Running Horse artwork visible, name each selector value and mark the fields that stay the same. The Mustang S550 Matte PRO listing provides a concrete field set for this format.
Start with the unchanged identity
Copy the exact Mustang S550 Matte PRO listing and write Ford Mustang S550, the vehicle year and the Running Horse artwork. The listing describes a Front Pair, so keep SET: FRONT in the unchanged column unless LDS confirms a different product path. Do not turn a color amendment into a new generation or artwork request.
The product is a wired 12V automotive accessory. Its page says wiring is required and no factory plug-and-play connector is included. Keep that installation fact unchanged unless the product itself changes.
Put the choices side by side
| Field | Current specification | Requested specification |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | Ford Mustang S550, exact year from the order | Unchanged unless the vehicle record is wrong |
| Artwork | Running Horse | Unchanged for this product path |
| COLOR BODY | Copy the exact live value | Copy one listed value such as BLACK or WHITE |
| COLOR HIGHLIGHT | Copy the exact live value | Copy one listed value such as White or Ice Blue |
| SET | FRONT | FRONT unless support directs a different listing |
| Wiring and threshold | Wired accessory on prepared painted metal | Unchanged; ask separately if the installation plan changes |
Use the values exactly as the page spells them. The body selector lists BLACK, WHITE, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE and ORANGE. The highlight selector lists WHITE, RED, Blue, YELLOW, ORANGE, GREEN, FLOW and Ice Blue. A color example in the table is a valid selector value, not a statement about a particular customer’s order.
Write the request in one readable block
After the table, write: “Please confirm whether this change is possible before production. Current: [body value] / [highlight value] / FRONT. Requested: [body value] / [highlight value] / FRONT. Vehicle and Running Horse artwork remain unchanged.” Add the order number and the date. Attach the exact product URL and any prior written artwork or option confirmation.
If the requested change affects the vehicle, artwork or threshold rather than a selector, stop using a color-only amendment. Ask LDS to review the new application. A different body code or logo needs a different product decision.
Wait for written confirmation
An email you sent is a request, not proof that the amendment was accepted. Keep the current specification until LDS replies with the accepted values. Do not remove a line from the order record because the new choice looks obvious in a product image.
For finish context, read the Mustang Stainless versus Matte PRO comparison. Use the Ford door sills collection only to navigate to another exact vehicle path. A clear before-and-after specification reduces the chance that a color request is mistaken for a different product.
