That's a really bad idea. Street cars use more than half a turn of the wheel constantly. You're going to find yourself turning using the tops of the handles to make turns at intersections.

Conversely, I wonder if there is a "douchebag only" steering wheel. Now that's driving in expert mode.

I'm having a tough time deciding what I should vote for. Could you cut a little more, like the bottom part to make my decision easier?

Someone correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't this seem a little silly?

The only cars you see open top steering wheels on are F1 cars in which they have an extremely tight turning radius where a 45 degree nudge of the wheel will make the car do 180 degree turn. I really believe there is a reason why absolutely no one with a road car, even a high performance road car has done this. In order to turn a corner on the IS you need hand over hand turning of the wheel. An open top wheel would make this extremely difficult and flat out annoying, maybe even dangerous.

No offense but i'm going to give this mod a -100000000000000000
