First fully customizable steering wheel by GuardianDesigns

[DRB]

I like it quite a bit.

I ordered the wheel with a thicker padded rim. It's a little big for my hands (I'm not exactly Goliath), but the material feels really good. A big step up from stock.

Will I lose my heated wheel option?

Will I lose my heated wheel option?

The Guardian wheel is highly customizable. With the options I chose, you do lose the heated wheel. There are other designs available from them that retain the heated option.

In my case, I've never used the heat option, except once to try it out. I don't live in Minnesota; it's never cold enough here to matter.

I'm spoiled! I live in the south (ATL) and I use the heated wheel probably 6mo out of the year, especially in the mornings.

I believe the Strada design - essentially, the factory wheel with your choice of materials and colors - retains the heated option (and is also the least expensive. I sure considered it).

But it's best to check directly with Guardian about that. I may be mistaken:

Make some paddle shifters next? Not just adhesive extensions but full units.

Hell ya, why the hell hasn't a company made replaceable paddle shifters. The stick ons look like crap. IMHO

I think the gt500 might work but if I remember right they are really expensive even with dealer discount. (Like $100+ each). 2 of my paddle shifters have failed. I assume the gt500 ones would be more durable as they are made to be used a lot more, they also look and feel a lot better

I would like the long reach Aluminum ones in different colors as direct replacement.

Probably get them powder coated pretty cheap

According to this guy (https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/2020-gt500-paddle-shifters.121752/post-2899570) he couldn't get the gt500 paddle shifters to work with the gt. But the connector is the same. Possibly just need to have a harness in between. I could pull the wiring diagrams and compare them.

Are the GT500 paddle shifters longer than the GT PP1 ones? If so I would buy a set and have anodized.
