i guess that is good news, but 300 still seems like a heck of a lot for a steering wheel, imo

it is better than 400 though

I'm not sure but I think I remember seeing some Bullitts with the satin spokes on the steering wheel. Remember the photos from Monterrey where they all drove the new Bullitts down from Frisco? Some had different steering wheels.

Is our resident Bullitt owner in?

go searching through online Mustang parts websites, I've come across a couple selling Bullitt steering wheels... then when you get it, just pop off the "metal" trim and glue on your old sating aluminum one instead... I would recommend having your mechanic switch the steering wheels for you though, it can be a PITA if the air bag pops in your face

if i am not mistaken the leather wrapped spokes of the bullitt wheel are thicker than whatever the aluminum attaches too


otherwise, yeah, i would have already done this mod and shown everybody pics of how great it looks

Extensive scientific research...(a trip to the driveway with a piece of string) has now shown that the Bullitt steering wheel is actually slimmer than the GT steering wheel.......By 1/8 of an inch....4 1/8th vs. 4 inches in girth...........THE STEERING WHEEL!!!

That said, if you look at the pics, the satin spokes actually cut into the wheel, not just cap over them.....

When I eventually replace the wheel in my GT, I will either leave the bottom spoke the dark argent, or, possibly just replace that bottom spoke with the satin piece...and not touch the two side spokes....

The wheel feel of the Bullitt steering wheel is much better. But I believe it to be more about the material, i.e. a bit more coarse leather feel, as opposed to the very smooth slick feel of the GT wheel. I really don't thing the 1/8 inch difference in diameter is that noticable.

I have said all along that the two things I would like to switch from the Bullitt to the GT are the steering wheel, and the seats......So much nicer......

Yeah an upholstery shop can easily alter the leather so the aluminum trim cam fit.
I couldn't tell you the $ amount they would charge but it sure is doable.

Oh, and I like the idea

rford426

They're not sold separately.
I think there's a TSB on the regular tri-bar Pony emblem...

I too am an advocate for a thicker wheel. It helps grip if you have large hands and long fingers. I modded my factory wheel right after I bought the car by adding a leather cover over the factory leather cover. You can buy them aftermarket and stitch them yourself and they look just as good as the factory ones.

Don't go cheap though, I think I paid like $80 for the one I got. I think it was from wheelskins.
