Only the GT came with silver rings around the speakers, IIRC.

BTW - there are no speakers behind those grills. I had installed a really nice (and powerful) Alpine system with component speakers and crossovers, a HUGE (and heavy) amp, and an iPod-controlling head unit. It's all gone now, except for the factory wiring (which must stay according to *SP rules).

Don't remember where I got it - I just shopped for the best prices on Amazon. The horn button can be made to work with a little effort. And, I thought I'd miss the cruise control, but I don't that much. Getting closer to a race car every day.

Hello, sorry I wanted to ask if the return system of turn signals work?, And I can tell the measure of the length of the hub and the extension, separated.
thanks Mauro

One last thing. Were you able to swap over the clock spring for the turn signals to function normally with this hub adapter?

Yes, and the signals work fine.

Also, I got the spacer because the wheel (with only the Sparco hub) was a little farther forward than stock and I was fearful I'd "foul" the turn signal/lights and windshield wiper stalks during autocross runs. With the spacer, no issues. It's a bit more of a reach to signal now, but totally do-able in everyday driving.

On a side note, I now have the Sparco 300 wheel, which is smaller in diameter (but not less thick). The 383 is better for all-around driving, but the 300 minimizes hand/arm motions in autocross.

The turn signal wires don't go through the clock spring anyway.

Do you happen to know the length of the hub without the spacer? I know the spacer is 2 inches. If the hub alone is 55mm or more I wont order the spacer.

It's about the same length as the spacer...in other words, the spacer effectively doubles the length of the hub alone.
