The 18-inch Steeda Ultralight wheels are wrapped in Nitto NT555 P275/40ZR18 radial rubber and can take all the extra cornering and handling that the Steeda suspension modifications allow The Steeda billet short-throw shifter and Steeda billet shift knob are front and center in the JBA-built 2005 Mustang Satin Q The Steeda competition front facia and blacked-out cowl induction hood add a serious look to the JBA-built Steeda 2005 Mustang Signature Series Satin Q The Steeda low rear wing, blacked-out rear valance and JBA stainless steel exhaust tips highlight the backside of the Satin Q
