New steering wheel
Here is a picture of my new steering wheel. It is a Bullitt steering, basically a 05-09 GT500 steering wheel with black stitching. I have a base 2010 GT. It came with cloth interior and a plastic steering wheel. I like the cloth a lot and it is quite durable. My kids trashed the leather in my prior mustangs pretty quick, but so far the cloth looks great and is holding up. The one thing I couldn't stand was the plastic steering wheel. It is basically the same plastic steering wheel that came on the base 05-09 models.
The install was quick and easy. However, there are two differences between the 05-09 steering wheels and the 2010+. The electrical plug for the steering wheel buttons is different and not compatible. Also, the 05-09 steering wheels have green illuminated buttons, and not blue like the 2010s.
You can fix this quick by swapping the wiring harness from the 2010 wheel into the bullitt wheel and swapping the 2010 buttons into the new wheel. The buttons simply pry out and the harnesses are both identical its just the socket that is different. The install is real easy and the buttons light up blue and the cruise buttons work just fine.
The new steering wheel is 1000x better than the old. I highly recommend this mod if you have a v6 or base GT with the plastic steering wheel.
