hey, does anyone have this, i kinda want some more info before i buy. first is will it fit my 2001 v6, and also does it install tight and straight? any info would be great

 

i believe it will fit into any of the 94-04 stangs. I was always wondering..whats the difference between that one and an oem wheel?

 

I think its wrapped in leather.

 

my steerin wheel is wrapped in leather .. hmm

 

It also has a thicker feel to the wheel, I read it somewhere just dont remember where. Not sure if the V6 has leather as my GT also has leather.

 

sweet i might have to get that, the difference is it is leather and it is thicker, more of a exotic car feel i think, i dont have leather, i have a cheap foam type of wheel, and i hate it, that is why im looking at that wheel.

heres a pic of it side by side a stock wheel. Installation instructions too

 

I wouldnt trust myself working with an airbag....

 

I've installed two of these wheels. They are very easy to install and the airbag is not an issue if you unplug the battery before you start. From beginning to end it will probably take an hour if you haven't done it before. No longer that 30 min after you've done it once.

The wheel is thicker and has perferations at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. If you do any road racing, you will love this wheel. You'll feel as if you have better control of the car. I sold my GT with it and have a Cobra now and I like the FR500 wheel much better than the Cobra.

The wheel will fit 94 - 04. Good luck, it is a much better wheel than stock.

 

alright you convinsed me, ill see if i can get it as a x-mas present, will i need a steering wheel puller?

 

Yes, you'll need one. I was going to do a "how to" article on this, but the one found here is so good that there is no reason to redo it. Here is the step-by-step.

FR500 Steering Wheel Install

 

I was just gonna ask the same thing

 

Again, the wheel has more padding therefore it is thicker. It has perferations at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions to allow your hands to breathe. Chances are that it is a sock wheel that is wraped a second time. The feel is better but essentially it is a stock wheel that feels much better and gives you a better sence of control. It is worth the money in my opinion.

Next question.
