Default Upgrading features

Hey all, new to the forums, I just bought an '09 GT and have been looking for information on modifying the car with no success.

I have the entry level GT, but in the future I was hoping to add or replace some of the internals. I don't even know if any or all of this is even possible, so hopefully someone out there will know and share.

1) Replace the steering wheel with the premium package steering wheel (leather wrapped with aluminum spokes.
2) Replace the dash/IC with the dash featuring the information center. I don't know if the wiring is even there for this, or if the computer can be updated to allow this functionality.
3) Remove the spoiler and plug the hole, or replace the trunk if necessary.

I know it would have been easier just to buy the Mustang configured with these options, but I couldn't go to the increased price. Over time I hope to be able to address that.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?

For anyone who's interested, I found out recently that the computers in the current style of Mustang are all the same. That is to say, if I replace my dash and IC with a dash/IC with the information center, it will work.

Now I just need the part numbers to order them. If I get the part numbers for the parts listed above, I'll post for anyone with a similar interest.
