The steering wheel. Its not that bad, its just a bit drab compared to the rest of the car. Can it be changed or replaced? Obviously with
the airbag/cruise etc it would maybe have to be another Ford wheel but is there a better looking one available to buy?

no. it looks the same but is alot thicker than the stock wheel. alot more comfortable to hold and you get a better feel for it. NICE!

isnt the FR leather wrapped as well?? i dont ahve one... im a man and dont care what pink dildos feel like in my hands, so im not sure what its wrapped in, but i was under the impression it was leather.


ALSO:

make note that your steering wheel bolt (the one that holds the wheel to the column) is torque to yeild, and you need to buy a new one from ford for a proper installation of a new steering wheel.

+1.

They're super nice. They look and feel better than any other aftermarket wheel I've ever used and you can keep you cruise control and steering wheel. They're very comfortable in your hands and the perforated leather means your hands don't get hot and sticky.

the fr has never seemed like it is worth the money to me, its boring and WAY too expensive.

Its a def upgrade over stock though.
There really isn't much for other options than that besides stock wheels and the FR500 is tons better than another stocker.

This is new to me. Whats different?

I could be wrong here. This is said to be a 10th Anniv. Mustang Cobra wheel installed in a '94 or '95 SC T-Bird. I'm just not sure.........
Looks like it would mate right up to the Mustang airbag.

That's a 10th anniversary Cobra steering wheel. Not sure about the airbag panel though, never seen that in any Mustang.

That is an early 90's SC T-bird dash & airbag panel. Just not sure what year. I'm thinking more like '92 or '93. My '96 T-Bird was similar.

whats with the gauges? SVT swap of some kind? or were the S/Cs considered "svt"?

Definitely a swap. I believe those are Anniversary gauges as well.

Did any of you notice the digital odometer readout @ the base of the tach?? Also, the IP does not fit the bezel. It shows between the wheel & the Mustang IP.

That's an '03 Gauge cluster.
