Welcome aboard. I don't know how long you have been around these cars, but its hard to find aftermarket companies that support them. Its mostly junkyard scrounging, etc.

On the Dashpad your best bet would be dashtops.com or something similar. There are several members who have used them. They don't look perfect and need some minor tpuppies but are about our only option.

I don't know about steering wheel covers. Your best bet would be to scour ebay and the junkyards for a good used one. I found my TC steering wheel a few years ago on eBay for pretty cheap.

I have no clue on the keyless entry pad...again maybe eBay. You might get lucky and find an NOS one that way. Or, one of the forum members might speak up and have some of your items laying around!

Thanks for the input. I was looking for a steering wheel cover, my wheel is in great shape but feels thin. I am unable to find a cover that fits.

You can change over to a Mustang GT wheel, and get a leather covered one from Late Model Restoration.

Shiny Side Up!

If you've got the Base/LX wheel, then I'd recommend a TC wheel...they have a better "feel" than the otherwise stock wheels.

When I bought the Sport, the absolute first thing I did was pull the steering wheels from both it, and the white Bird, and swap 'em. The white car had my TC wheel in it, and I'll never drive a Tbird without at least a TC wheel...the difference is night and day.
