Default my nardi wheel

Here's a pic of my Nardi wheel, the center spokes are polished but it's kinda hard to tell in the pic. I took the picture on my cell phone, so I will get better quality pics tomorrow.

I know that most people don't like Nardi wheel's, but i love it, and i thought that someone might like to see it.



I have no idea how to wire the horn, any suggestions? After I removed the steering wheel and the airbag harness' there were no wires and I was clueless, if anything i'll get an air horn.

Thanks

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing about the 1jz... I think that I am so used to the needles being out that it doesnt bother me anymore. I kind of actually like the way it looks to.

And thanks for all your comments; I love the way it feels. It just makes me enjoy driving my car so much more.

here's some more pics

It would look incredible if the column cover was either black, or had a piece to cover over the squared off part where the stock pancake steering wheel went, or both.
Nice wheel, makes me smile just thinking of how great it must be to drive now, compared to the stock wheel.
I've been thinking of spraying my stock wheel, and collumn cover black just to make them a little less noticeable.

I agree. Normally I never bash what another person does to their car but this looks bad. The steering column being that LARGE and sitting right behind the wheel makes it look tacky to me. It doesn't flow at all. I'm sure the wheel feels great in your hands, but it looks horrible to my eyes and doesn't go with the rest of the steering column area, the fact that the rear hib of the wheel is round and sitting against that brown steering column just isn't attractive at all. Just my 2 brownies...

Not to mention the issue of no longer having an airbag...no thanks...not with these fools out here in Cali running from the cops every 2 minutes and not caring who they crash into.

Ok, tell that to my friend who came out of a very bad crash with no injuries thanks to his airbag
