JeffIsHereToo Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Man these old threads popping up take me way back on the many changes we have made or participated in over the years with our Shelbys. GG Lots of history here! Hope someone is making good backups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDEMAN Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 SA had him shut down and he paid a fine too...from what I have heard. This was 1+ year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydon91 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Greatly appreciate this thread because I just installed my new SGT Steering wheel emblem. It took me about an hour and it looks fantastic. I could not have wished for anything better, total OEM look and Shelby should have installed this piece in the first place. This little $20 piece makes the interior "pop" and now it has that one-off look!! I followed the pictures posted by jmn444 and I want to THANK YOU for doing so because it took the "worry" out of prying off the original Mustang emblem. It provided great instruction and photos to finish the job with confidence. JMN444 if you are ever in NC stop by and I will buy you a few rounds of your favorite beverage. THANK YOU... I attached some photos of the finished product for others to see how good it looks once it's complete. I did not attach photo's of the process because JMN444 already did that and he nailed the process. If you own a SGT do not hesitate, I purchased my emblem on EBAY and it costs $19.99 well worth it!!

Kevin Patten Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Someone had a set of 4 CS wheel center cap emblems ( for old Carroll Shelby wheels from the 80s/90s ) for sale on e-bay that would probably work in the same way as a steering wheel center but wanted $80 for the set - too rich for my pockets on taking a chance they would be the right diameter.

JeffIsHereToo Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I could not have wished for anything better, total OEM look and Shelby should have installed this piece in the first place. To be fair I can understand why SA did not do this. There are HUGE liability issues with this as you are essentially messing with the airbag cover. As has been discussed before while we may not see an issue here some lawyer looking for $$$ may. In this case Ford mounted the center badge in such a way as to ensure it will not become a missile into your face when the air bag deploys. The emblem is designed not to separate from the cover. These 3rd party versions are not clipped instead they are stuck on with glue. Chances are, in the milliseconds with the force applied at impact and deployment of the air bags, these will separate quickly from the cover and meet your face. We can debate the merits of the scenario and the chances overall of such an accident BUT if it were to happen a small company like SA could be devastated never mind their liability insurance rates even without such an accident. Maybe we could keep the business side of the equation in mind as we think with our enthusiast mind. I was happy to make this change, though I did it differently, and I too wish it came that way from SA, but I do understand and at least in the end we can all mod our cars as we see fit and later sue ourselves if something happens.

amydon91 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 ok, thanks for the input and understand the fear of lawsuits. Though I must state, As a retired cop if your airbag deploys you have bigger things to fear than an emblem flying into your face!! Fortunately the piece I got was a hard "rubberized" piece and it is no harder than the other flying objects that people have in their vehicles when they get into accidents. Cell phones cause more injuries than any other item inside your vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip 87 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Safety is the reason for Shelby not messing with different wheel badges. Here's a safe option that's OEM.. I opted to swap out stock mustang airbag cover for a stock 2010/2011 Shelby cover. $129 on big auction site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I am really surprised there is not many aftermarket companies that redo steering wheels for Mustangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydon91 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nagging question, why is this topic referred to as the "berg" steering wheel emblem? I need some old Shelby buff to clear this up for me...... Philip 87 like the look of your steering wheel, where did you get the "wood" look?

philip 87 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 The wheel is made with real wood using an original mustang wheel frame. Very high quality. They seem to be out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
