It's been kinda cold for NC lately, but that hasn't stopped me!

Installed New Grant Formula 1 Steering wheel and UPR Billet Pedals over the past two days.

That wheel suits the interior beautifully. It looks OEM.

Thanks man! It was a beautiful coincidence that the Wheel I had originally wanted to purchase was discontinued between the time I put it in my cart last Saturday and when I went to purchase it on Monday. Thankfully it led me right to this perfect match!

Looks like a saleen wheel. I am thinking of getting a wheel like this as well. need to fab some cruise control switch brackets. Or if I am feeling saucy a moon wheel to match my red interior.

Your car makes me jealous.

Yeah it's Grant's version of the Momo Saleen used! Aka the Cheap version. I think the wheel, adapter, and upgraded metal Spacer was around $150 all together when the Momo Model 78 itself is $230.

This wheel has an awesome feel in your hands and I would recommend it for any sporty driving! That red one is mighty saucy, but probably doesn't have much grip.

Dont be. It just looks cool. Your "Leadfoot" would've made it past the floorboards, thru the radiator, and out of the front bumper trying to get it to go anywhere fast lmfaoo.

nice pictures, what did you do to make the exterior (through he windows) so dark and yet keep the interior so well lit? I suspect, unlike myself, you aren't just poking your cell phone at your recently completed work

side note, the brake and clutch pedals appear to be misaligned to each other, possibly just an angle of the picture issue.

For starters I used my Canon 60d on a tripod. I then hung my florescent shop light from the crack in my sunroof and killed the lights in the Garage. I then set my exposure accordingly and used my remote to activate the shutter and voila! Only the interior was lit and the outside barely showed up. Of course there was some post processing to refine and eliminate any reflection that did come from the outside, but it was mostly done in camera.

And it's the angle of the photo, because my clutch pedal sits a little further forward the angle is thrown off a little bit!

nice work, the light through the sunroof is a handy hint (should I own a car with sun/moon roof again someday)

seen some folks hang sheets over their car so as to get a perfect white on the windows, and nice diffused light.

anyway, nice pics :D glad your pedals are not skewed

I should've snagged a phone pic of my setup, but if you have anywhere on your interior roof to hang a light would work too! Or set it on top of the headrest, anything where it can flood it with light from behind and not move would be okay. (Even though a sunroof car is pretty sweet! More headroom, more light, more awesome in the summer!)

Yeah I wouldn't have wasted all the time drilling thru my stock pedals to put em on crooked, but thanks!

Ps. If you're taking phone pictures with an iPhone I would recommend the free version of ProCamera! It gives you a few more features to enhance the phone's picture taking ability and gives you more adjustments than just pointing to the area of focus. Makes it less potato like and more like an actual camera!
