Yeah I agree. The stock wheel is smooth and shiny and the new wheel is Matte and more grippy. So they aren't gonna look identical. Part of my wondered if the difference is fading after 14 years of being on the dash.

If you weren't aware the interior of our Cobras were matte to begin with but wear and chemicals give them the smooth shine. When I bought my car all of the original matte finish was still there. I accidentally used an armorall type product on the door panels and they have a shine that just won't go away. I've washed them, and wipe them down hoping they'll slowly fade back to matte but I'm not sure they will.

The rest of the interior only sees damp rags now.

Took the hood liner off and found out I got lucky and it's painted underneath, added the black letters to the rear bumper, and installed the coolant crossover plug with Allen screw for temp gauge

Now you need a trunk panel to finish off that rear end

I did not know that. I wish i had been lucky enough to own one since new. Sadly i was 18 when they came out and had no chance at that. I bought my cobra with 18k on the clock. But the wheel has always looked shiny. I got the FR500 on now and boy does it feel great. What a nice wheel.

You can use a steamer to bring them back. That will make all the oils/chemicals come up to the top. Wipe it off and your good.

Interesting. Mine was not. I painted and cleared mine this weekend. Came out pretty good. It's not as perfect as the paint on the outside of the car but it's close. I'm happy with it. No pics yet. I'll take some this afternoon if I can
