Yep. That's the same gt 500 wheel. Be careful of people on eBay, scalpers, or dealerships that will try to price gouge you. The link I provided is the real deal and by far the best price anywhere.

Lol. I think everyone is just accustomed to paying more for stuff like this. Many Ford dealerships list their premium wheels under the same product number.

For instance, search part number CR3Z3600AB at Tousley Ford website... Notice that the Premium, Boss, and GT 500 wheel all share the same part number.

All 3 are are also 155.00 online!

Hey Mo, sorry for the delay in replying. At first the buttons did not work but I picked up a Shaker 500 headunit on ebay for $100 and installed it and the buttons work. I lost the Aux input but gained 5 more CD slots and Sirius XM capability so I was pretty happy about that The piece behind the headrest is a wind deflector of my own design. Thought about going into production but did not get enough interest. It has been on the car for over two years now, is barely visible, and works like a champ

The headlights are from Spec-D Tuning. Happy with the looks but not with the light output. The fog lights from really help with the near illumination which lets me aim the regular lights higher. I am thinking about getting the factory headlights retrofitted to HID but need to find a retrofitter with reputation in my area (SoCal).

Did you get them aimed properly? I have similar headlights and they were a ***** to aim, but the light output is good.

I'm thinking the retrofit source does retrofits by mail, if you haven't checked them out yet.

Nice job on the instal. I actually paid a guy to put mine on. With my luck lately, id deploy the airbag. Lol

Looks awesome. Now you need the take off leather seat covers for 300 on eBay.

Yep that molded base wheel would be better suited as a chew toy.

Hey I just checked the link I posted on the first page and the wheel has gone up from 155.00 to 162.00. Those rat bastids.

Seriously, if you ever thought of swapping your base wheel, now is the time. Do it before they realize the demand and start charging an arm and a leg like everyone else.
