Congrats on the wheel. It seems like your making your GT into a mini 350. Nothing wrong with that. Good luck on finding your perfect GT350.
I'm a sucker for alcantara and red accents without going over board and I always try to stay true to a performance line of the same manufacturer and the GT350R is my favorite car so I just wanted some of those good interior pieces since it's what you will mainly hold and feel. Makes the driving experience much more special for me. And thank you, I almost had a race red last week but before I could get to the dealer after work, it was sold. I was very surprised so next time I'm jumping right on it.

That car is shiny! Looks good too. What’s the secret sauce?
I just washed it before this so it was extra clean and the iPhone 11 has a decent camera, that's about it. :p I really need to wax it!

This got here yesterday and I put it in today. I followed CJ PP's install video and there were no issues. I am so happy with this. I now have the aluminum strut tower brace, shift knob and steering wheel from the GT350R, and still shopping for the right GT350 to add to the garage.
I put mine on Friday however I broke the clock spring installing mine. When I removed my original wheel the clock spring turned and I wasn't sure which way it turned. Long story short but after I installed my new wheel it worked fine until I tested it full turn to full turn and I felt a slight bit of resistance then all my buttons stopped working.....now I'm waiting for the new clock spring. Expensive lesson. Usually CJPP tells you what to watch out for. I didn't realize it was that fragile.

I learned this when swapping steering wheels on Miatas, I've probably done about 10 at this point but I can tell you it's so much easier on this car. I couldn't believe what I saw when I popped the airbag off. It's a whole other design and genius on Ford's part.
