[QUOTE]Originally posted by 50 Deep: [QB] Today ended up being pretty cool. Had the opportunity to ask a favor of a new acquaintance of mine. Thought it would be cool to get the car on my old college campus at California State University Sacramento for some photos. I went out with Todd from GP36 Media and he snapped a couple images while we scouted some other locations for photos. Looks like I can get access to some pretty exclusive places that will provide some great imagery. I snapped a few pics while he was working. Will share his images once he gets to them. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/i6zm3k/DSC_1141.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/fQPVUQ/DSC_1140.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/fijKOk/DSC_1135.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> After my last photoshoot at Thunder Hill Raceway I was contacted by a company named DCT Motor Sports. They are looking to bring a new steering wheel for the S550 Mustang to market and asked me to try it out. I had not felt the need to upgrade from the GT350R wheel, but when I saw their product I was intrigued. Even more pleased when I actually got it in my hands. The stitching, quality of the leather, and weave on the carbon fiber is VERY good. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/kucZpQ/DSC_1146.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/gdz8G5/DSC_1144.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://image.ibb.co/h7Qtik/DSC_1143.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> Of note were the impressions in the top of the steering wheels for your fingers to grip. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/mwp3ik/DSC_1149.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> The only real knock I can make on the OEM wheel is that the Alcantara (or whatever it is) will eventually get messed up if you have sweaty hands, let your kids touch on it, get dirt on the material, or constantly let the wheel slide through your hands after turning. I think a few here have discussed the option of a full leather wheel. I basically resigned myself to wearing driving gloves all the time to save the material, but sometimes that is a bit of a hassle. Being that guy who pulls up to the cars and coffee with the racing gloves on is a bit much at times. <img src="https://image.ibb.co/hVow3k/DSC_1147.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> This is looking like an attractive option. Once I get it installed I will take pictures side by side of the OEM wheel to check for any differences in size, and will provide impressions after driving. [/QB][/QUOTE]
