Justin: If you're looking for an easy and relatively inexpensive way to add a lot more
detail to the factory steering wheel of your S550, then you'll want to check out SpeedForm's
Carbon Fiber Style Steering Wheel Trim available for all 2015 and newer Mustangs.
Now, this kit will feature a hydro dipped ABS plastic construction along with that carbon
fiber appearance all for right around 50 bucks.
Installation will be a simple peel and stick job here, guys, thanks to the preinstalled
3M tape located on the back of each piece.
So, therefore, let's call it a very soft one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter
here and no more than a few minutes of your time from start to finish.
So, this is a great bang for your buck modification in regards to dressing up that stock steering
wheel, but without having to spend hundreds of dollars to replace that stock wheel for
some sort of aftermarket option.
Now, in my opinion, this is going to be great as is if you're just looking to do something
to that steering wheel or if you're really digging that carbon fiber look, we have a
ton of other options also from SpeedForm here on the site for numerous areas around the
interior of your S550.
So, feel free to check those out as well.
Now, the stuff we have here I would say is going to land right in the middle as far as
not being real carbon fiber, which can be very pricey, but at the same time, it's not
vinyl which can sometimes lead to inconsistent results.
Instead, what you're looking at is ABS plastic that has gone through a process known as hydro
dipping into a carbon fiber-like graphic.
And that's going to deliver a very realistic look but for a fraction of the cost of the
real stuff.
Now, this kit does include five individual pieces here.
The two up top are going to flank the steering wheel controls, the two very small pieces
are going to surround the cruise control buttons, and then last but not least, you have the
final piece which is going to cover the bottom spokes of that steering wheel.
Now, altogether, the package looks great once installed.
In fact, feel free to check out some of the customer submitted images back on the product
page if you haven't already done so.
In doing so, you're going to get a better feel for just how well this kit does fit,
covers up the silver perfectly, but without leaving any awkward or unsightly gaps.
Now, this is a great time to segue into that installation process and again, as you might
imagine, this one is going to be pretty easy.
However, we want to ensure you get that surface nice and clean before getting started, free
from any dash dressing like Armor All because that will ultimately affect the bond of the
3M tape on the back.
But to give you a better idea of how things are going to go down, feel free to check out
our detailed walkthrough now.
Man: The tools used for this install are a microfiber cloth, interior cleaner, and a
razor knife.
So, the first step of this install is going to be wipe down the steering wheel and all
of the areas that the pieces are going to stick to.
You want to make sure that you're using an interior cleaner that doesn't leave any kind
of debris, and I'm gonna use a microfiber cloth.
Next, we can peel off the 3M backing that's on the back of the pieces and stick them to
the spaces on the steering wheel.
And that's going to wrap up this review and install of the SpeedForm Carbon Fiber Style
Steering Wheel Trim.
Thanks for watching.
