I really dislike the factory wheel on my 93 plus it has a horn button missing that I ahven't been able to replace yet (stupid Columbus junkyards...and stupid work!). I would really just like to replace it with something a bit more modern looking. I checked out some Grat wheels and these two look nice http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...Id=749763&itemId=774355&langId=-1&showValue=1

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...tId=749763&itemId=91732&langId=-1&showValue=1

but I am just not sure. I was then checking out Flaming River's site and there are a couple black/silver accent wheels there that look nice too, but I just haven't found that one wheel that just pops out at me. Anyone know somewhere else to look for a high quality steering wheel?

What I REALLY like is the new black/silver steering wheels in the newer Mustangs, but I have no idea if you can purchase those anywhere, how tough it would be to put in a Fox body, and how damn expensive it would be if I could find one

If i had a 90-93, i would put an SN95 wheel in.

I really love the feel of my '03's leather wrapped wheel.

But you are right, they are expensive, but i think 1993 is the easier year to swap them into and keep everything functional.

I have always liked the MOMO steering wheels. I'll have to pick one up for my car one day. Here is an example I saw at the World Ford Challenge. You can always move the cruise control buttons somewhere else.

Very clean interior you got there. Where did you get the chrome speaker covers on the door?

And I will get pics up in the next few days, I am right in the middle of waxing it out and trying out some stuff from Mothers to get my black trim looking better along with putting on a new cowl/windshield wiper arms.

They really are not chrome, just really bright silver. They are Polk component speakers.

Ttop - one of the cleanest and most tastefully modified interiors I have seen in some time.



In general, I would say that guys might want an alternative wheel hub dealie (what the wheel itself bolts to). I dont have real long fingers but I almost couldn't hit the turn signal stalk with my hand on the wheel in my normal wheel-holding position. A little billet adapter (I think they're short) would probably be neat.

If you go with a Grant wheel, you have to put on an adapter that pushes the wheel out a little. It solves that problem.
