Love your interior, the parts you have added really lift the cabin and tie it all together especially the door handle bits. Superb!

That flat bottom wheel looks amazing! It looks like the tip portion is pretty thick, which is also awesome. Thanks for posting up! Did you use the steering wheel removal tool that you can rent from Advance Auto Parts?

Let's see if we can still find someone to post a picture of that full CF wheel.

Nope just using something small pointy flat head screw driver to open 2 clips plastic and using screw gun to unscrew those T20. unplug the battery 1st and step on the brake for at least 30 seconds to disengaged the airbag. Also u need a torque wrench to open the main nut forgot what size . Using your inner legs to guide the steering wheel as you loosen it. Voila

I "bought" the steering wheel removal tool to swap mine. It was a lot easier than yanking the crap out of the steering wheel. I returned the tool afterwards.

I did mine this weekend. RHD for your amusement if you're in the US. The install was easy. I didn't use a steering puller. It didn't take much force to loosen the wheel of the spline.

Yup was very easy to installed and no need to yank anything. No special tools were needed. Torque wrench and flat head screw driver + Phillip head. Looking good t4orce
