I think they look nice, but prefer the thicker TC steering wheel. I'd like to find a Mustang GT wheel (pre-air bag) in really nice shape....for a decent price.

I like the skinnier wheel. I cant stand big thick ones. Thats why I switched over to the leather one on my 96 and I personally think the TC style wheel is just plain ugly. But thats me.

Under $100 I woulda went for it. GRANTED I did get a nice one from someone on here awhile back, but the top isn't *perfect*. ;) (what an ass I know)

THEN AGAIN....if it were a perfect wheel, it really wouldn't go with the rest of my interior. The interior is near-perfect yes, but still, 140,000 mile car with a perfect steering wheel? Come onnnnnnn no way that's the original wheel.  No one would be fooled. This one will at least seem legit, but better than the mooshy gooey mess that is the upper portion of the wheel there now. Also, I wouldn't wanna take that wrap off an NOS part. I mean COME ON!!!!! NOS!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

And the insanity within me continues.

$305 is about right. Congrats to whomever purchased it.

And again I say: if you think $305 is a lot of money for a NOS steering wheel, feel free to pay less for one elsewhere.








Oh, what's that?

You can't find one at all?
Or you found one but it doesn't have leather or cruise control?
Or you found one but it's more money than that?



Hmmm. Seems you should have paid the $305 then, doesn't it?
