@SSShark, I do enjoy it as my daily driver to work. The unfortunate part is that I only work one day a week from the office!

Added a carbon fiber center airbag ring to complete my new steering wheel. Having put a couple miles on the car with this new wheel, it's a fantastic product from Carbonaddons, feels just right and matches my overall "OEM with slight but distinct alterations" theme.

Interestingly, Carbonaddons has recently redesigned this part, and the only way I know that is I ordered a black plus a red ring, not knowing which one I'll prefer, and the black one is flat while the red is more "bulbous", if that makes sense. I decided to install the flat black one and quite like the outcome.

Goes without saying that I now have a redundant brand new, unused red genuine carbon fiber airbag trim cover, if anyone wants it, just DM me, we'll figure out a good deal (factory price was $49.95).

The finished product looks awesome! I prefer the black ring over the red ring too. Good choice.

Thank you, Sir

Oh btw I had to get the front realigned, because it turns out the good folks at the factory installed my original steering wheel slightly cocked, the marking on the column and the arrow on the wheel were 1 or 2 notches off (and now I know why I got those comments on the strange changes the techs doing my alignments had to make).

I installed the new steering wheel correctly, so it had to be recentered with a front toe alignment, it's all 100% perfect now with the tie rods adjusted symmetrically.

Another slight miss to chalk up to my car being a Monday morning unit

Love the steering wheel but no offense those paddle shifters are atrocious. I could never get behind seeing those huge things tacked onto the already installed shifters from the factory. When I got my steering wheel from wildhammer i was lucky enough to get one of their factory replacement sets that is full carbon fiber without having to add 8" snap on ones. Wheel looks good though!

Neither would I.

These are complete, extended carbon fiber replacement paddles, the stockers are gone Maybe it's the photo angle, but rest assured these are proper.

They also don't obscure the low end of the tach and the high end of the speedo, unlike the tack-ons you're obviously not a fan of either.

Just threw on some Michelin Pilot Sports 4s at Discount Tire and I’m very impressed with the drive quality over the 3r’s. Don’t know why I waited so long to make the switch but from the short drive I just got back from I’m pleased with them. Only bummer was I had them burn off the wheel locks cuz my detailer never put my wheel lock key back, but got a new set already on order. The side wall also looks nicer than the OEM in my opinion.

The new steering wheel, including the carbon fiber ring looks fantastic arpad. I also agree that the black ring looks better than the red one.
