CMCVette Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Has anyone seen a Shelby steering wheel logo that would go on over the "regular mustang" piece that's at the center of the steering wheel? I'd love to replace that with something more "Shelby-esque!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardluck33 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Has anyone seen a Shelby steering wheel logo that would go on over the "regular mustang" piece that's at the center of the steering wheel? I'd love to replace that with something more "Shelby-esque!" Not yet, because of a liablity issue with the airbags. Amy had stated something to the fact that they were researching but it did not seem like any action was to be taken. Many are interested and want this.

GT500-07 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 some have made their own using the Saleen cap kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1977 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Has anyone tried fitting the trunk lock emblems (CS logo or Berg Cap) over the stock pony emblem on the steering wheel? It looks like it would cover it nicely because of the convex shape. I am also interested in the red white and blue lecarra cobra emblem too on the Saleen cap as an option.

I think people would have more luck modifying a GT500 steering wheel if you just want a cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those caps are too large to work correctly on the steering wheel...The best thing to do is to purchase a Saleen Cap kit and have a vinyl shop make whatever you want to go on top of the cap then clear coat it and silicone it over the original pony cap...That way the steering wheel air bag can still split down the middle go right around the cap all the way to the bottom and open up if it still needs to in the event of a crash. I did it on my SGT and have the Berg Cobra on the cap now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff but this route is too expensive (unless Ford sells the cap alone) and not easily reversible. I don't want anything that says GT 500 because I am not trying to pass my car off as a GT 500, just the Cobra heritage and styling. If the cap is sold alone without the $600 steering wheel it might be worth it. Then the trouble is trying to remove the 500 lettering and leaving a professional finish. Thanks for the feedback.

08SGT1977 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Here is another idea I have been mulling - GT-350 Cobra emblem on top of the Saleen cap. It does not completely cover the edges but I think it has potential.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Is that acrylic or metal or .... ? It's acrylic. You'll get very good customer service from Mike. He was very willing to help me with a custom design. My only concern with mounting this is what will happen if the air bag ever deploys... Will I end up with Shelby imprinted on my forehead? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg 07SGT0547 Pic says it's copyrighted, and Shelby isn't going to like this. How do you copyright something that is already copyrighted, and belongs to someone else?

How do you copyright something that is already copyrighted, and belongs to someone else? Hopefully, it will be high quality enough (and still be airbag-compatible) that they can work with SAI to get it licensed and approved for "public consumption"... Remember, if you don't ask, then the answer is always "NO"... Drive Safe! 07SGT0547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
