Installed new Steering wheel

Just got my custom steering wheel in today and installed it. I love the way it looks, only drawback is losing the phone controls. I didn't notice it had the non tech controls until after I purchased it. I really never use those controls but I can always have my bezel wrapped and install my original controls.

Looks very nice, the new grips look well bolstered, I'm sure it gives it a whole new feel. Any more carbon trim plans now?

Looks good. Goes to show you can get a good deal on ebay once in a while. PM me if you decide to swap controls and want to sell the non tech trim.

I like the flat bottom and larger bolstered thumb rests, but I think the carbon fiber looks out of place, unless there are additional carbon fiber pieces I'm not seeing.

what about the air bag? did you keep it in tact? I'm afraid of not having the air bag function after i remove the OEM steering wheel off.

Looks good. I was just talking to them this week about making me one as well. How do you like it so far?

I'm on the fence, I have a CFE flat bottom wheel in leather now so I'm not sure I want to make the jump. At the same time... I do like that...
