Where did you run the 2 lines through the firewall at? I'm more concerned with the water temp one, since the hole is going to be larger since you have to get the fitting through it... If you could put a couple detailed pic's I would appreciate it... I like to get a good plan before I drill for mine this spring.

I had that on my watch list just to see what it would sell for. I actually have one of the smiley face wheels, but I can't see myself taking my momo wheel out to swap it in. It's my favorite Ford wheel for sure, but the momo wheel feels so good in the hands
