Default GT500 SVT Steering wheel addition

Hey guys, has anyone swapped out their standard GT steering wheel for the GT 500 SVT M3600C charcoal and red stitched steering wheel on their standard GT's? If so, what do you think of the change....before I spend $400-$500 changing it....

It looks great, and more comfortable with the finger tabs. Not sure if it's a different diameter, and thickness....my standard 2008 GT wheel just seems a little fat and uncomfortable sometimes.... Also, not sure of what kind of $$$ job to install it at the dealer.

Thanks,
Todd

Subscribed.

I want to switch my crimson seats to the SVT red and black. Steering wheel naturally would follow.

I installed the Bullitt steering wheel, which is identical to a GT500 wheel, but has black stitching. No need to take it to the dealer as it is a very simple swap and takes less than 20minutes. It is a great upgrade over the stocker as it is much more refined with contoured foam around the spokes.

Here's the DIY thread I followed when I did the swap as you do need to ensure the airbag has time to de-energize. Steering wheel DIY

And a picture of mine installed.

It has a satin finish, so there is no glare. I had the IUP dash and never liked the chrome rings, so when I found this Bullitt dash on ebay, I snagged it and have no regrets.
