    Hey guys, this is my first post but I've been lurking around here and reading daily for about 8 months. I've been trying to find an answer to this for a few days now and after searching the forums and the internet I haven't found any results. My question is: Is it possible to have a steering wheel with shift lights(like the enzo) on a 360 or F430?




    Thanks,

    Bobby

    Why do you need one?

    1) Plan to race the car?
    2) Cosmetic Reasons?
    3) Other...please explain.

    I'm not an expert in this, however I think you can do the following:
    a) replace the steering wheel for a Momo or other race steering wheels
    b) get a helmet mount shft light and mount on top of your steering wheel.

    Basically, you can do whatever you want...as long as you are willing to "Pay to Play".

    I was just curious. I am not an owner of a Ferrari, just a teenager with a growing interest in them. This was a question I came up with after seeing the shift lights on the 599. Thank you for your response.

    no problem. shift lights has been around for quite sometime; Jeep Wrangler has it in the it's dash and is meant to indicate the optimal Fuel economy shift point. However a steering wheel mounted shift light is really meant to help the race car driver keep his/her eyes on the road.

    If you're interested in finding out more, check out Momo's website and this link:
