It's a little grainy. It was new off a wheel another member here had. The color goes great with the rest of my black/grey in the interior.

Now I get it! I thought you replaced the whole wheel, not just the pieces around the buttons. Looks good Jon.

I'm olde, and easily confused.

LOL, if the whole wheel gets replaced, its with a Raptor wheel with functioning paddle shifters and the strip dyed blue! Yes, I just replaced the trim, which does require steering wheel removal (air-bag unit, nut, wire connections, etc)

It's funny though....When I saw your post of what you did to your wheel, it lit a fire under me to list some of that stuff that's just gathering dust. The Raptor will be worth the wait.

Well the Raptor wheel will be behind a SCT BDX and Omega tune. That is the next mod for sure for me. Wish I could Whipple, but to many mouths to feed and too much college to help with.......

Yeah...I'm past that point...That's way more important then any stinking steering wheel or supercharger.

I agree, gotta save for my mods now, which is fine, but financially I am doing good. Get all the kids on their own, and well, I am great! That's a few years away though.
