Default Installing OEM leather seat covers + Roush steering wheel questions

I am going to be buying a 2012 Stering Grey 5.0 base model with 3.73's and plan to upgrade the rest of the car myself. For starters I plan on interior with leather seat covers + steering wheel...

If I buy the OEM leather seat covers off ebay and have a shop install them, will I get the notorious airbag light that other people are having with aftermarket seats? Also everyone says the wrinkles will eventually come out, but for people that have completed this installation have you actually confirmed this?

Also I would like to replace the dull base model steering wheel with Mustang Grant Roush "racing" style steering wheel ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/10-12...item43a4f2e251 ) ... Has anyone done this installation and is it very difficult? I would be somewhat worried about transferring the airbag from one wheel to the next but I wanted to ask opinions. Does it mesh well with the rest of the interior?

Thanks ahead!

I installed Pony Package leather with my fiance in my '05 and the wrinkles came out after they had sat in the heat for a few days. They looks great now.

Ford has begun taking orders for 2012 Sterling Grey although production has not started.

I just installed the boss steering wheel on mine. Took about ten min, not hard at all.

Disconnect battery

Remove plastic plugs on side of steering wheel X2.

Remove two 8mm bolts on side of steering wheel that hold the air bag in.

Gently pull air bag out and disconnect the two connectors ( one gray, One Black ).

Disconnect Large connector in center.

Remove 24mm bolt holding steering wheel on.

Repeat steps backwards and your done.

I actually was looking for leather seat covers as well.

Do you have a link?

If you want to change your base steering wheel for the Roush, don't forget that you'll need to order the buttons and the silver covers from Ford. Those you have on your base steering wheel won't fit the Roush. Believe me...
