Are there caps for the upgraded 17s that have the GT in the center rather than the stock ones that have the ford or the one with the tribar pony?

I have never seen such a thing, though if someone offers it, I'll be second in line (behind yourself) to get them. I have the pony caps and think that it is a definite upgrade. It's possible it would seem a little "over-badged" if they stuck GT on the wheels as well as on the rear and sides.

I have the MGW shift **** and power-port plugs, both with GT i
in the interior, and I'm somewhat unsure if it's a little much. Of course, with the radar detector plugged in most of the time, it's not actually a problem

I think it would be cool to have no ponies and all GT's. It would be like when a customizer does a car up in all thier logos. I'd love to have GT on the wheels.

That's a good point, and I'd certainly rather it said GT all over it instead of Steeda or something. I don't feel the need to be billboard Of course, I haven't bought any branded Steeda or whatever stuff anyways. The closest thing is the embossed Flowmaster tips on the exhaust, but that's subtle, even if the exhaust itself isn't

Kevin the mustangsource parts guy should have the 6R3Z-1130-E center caps in stock. Those should be what you're looking for. I think Donna had a set for sale too. Pm Donna or Kevin.

$55 is my best deal shipped.
On the other hand I saw some of the ford ones on ebay and I bet you could do the same thing cheaper with them.

I saw an article in I think Mustang Enthusiast magazine about how to change the caps in the center without breaking anything.

Sorry I have been out of town. I will find it tomorrow and see if I can scan the story. It was like the tip of the month.
