I already bought a premium one, $150 delivered from Roush. Not a $99 deal as some reported, but still a decent price I would say.

I don't want buttons for stereo control - I just want a leather wheel with cruise control.

The alternative is going to Ford and paying too much ($460) for the Bullitt wheel.

That's the wheel I put in my 2010; the 2009 GT500 wheel with red stitching. I later put red stitched boots on the shifter and parking brake and red stitched leather door panels with the shaker speakers. All in all came out rather nice I think.

install is a breeze, just make sure you have a 24mm socket handy, i had to run out and get one in the middle of the install

Any steering wheel is a huge upgrade from that hideous base steering wheel.

OK. I just got my wheel today and it turns out this is a 2013 Mustang steering wheel, not a 2010-2012 one as pictured on ebay (see the photo of the wheel I received).

My question is: will it work on my 2012 base Mustang? Will cruise control work without any modifications? Will I be able to use stereo controls if I reprogram the ACM, or however that module controlling the radio is called?

cant help you out there but should work fine, the 05-09 fits on our 11-12 fine and the 13 doesnt look much different.

on a side note does anyone know what involved with getting the stereo controls to work and how much it'll cost
