Default New pics with coilovers and IS300 steering wheel

Just put on some new Tein CS on today, which are sweet. It's not lowered too much just the recommended height. Also installed a IS300 steering wheel, looks awesome!! So much better than the stock truck driver wheel. Although now my horn doesn't work? If you notice I also painted the column cover black so it would match the wheel.

There's actually a few write up's on the steering wheel mod. You can use combinations of steering wheels and airbags.

The Teins are a great ride almost like stock, I haven't played around with different settings though. The handling is good, these are my first set of coilovers so I can't really compare them. But I'm happy, not too stiff and not too soft.

The IS wheel is nice, but needs to be tan to fit in. (at least tan in some areas)

Nice emblems

Wow very nice. I wish my SC was black. Correct me if Im wrong but is that a huge dent in the second pic? I like the ride height. Gotta have those shiny TTs. Great interior. I like it!

good work. I did the same thing and you are right! the steering wheel mod is by far one of the best comestic enhancing mods for the interior. The only problem is getting the airbag to work.

regarding your horn, did you ground the horn to your steering wheel? (i think that's what it is anyways) it's a black wire that was connected to your original steering wheel, I think it was soldered onto the steering wheel. I cut mine and added a female spade connector to it and connected it to my new steering wheel.

keitlander: no cruise, the wheel didn't come with a opening for one. I never use cruise anyway so it doesn't matter.

jspesc3: No dent but it sure does look like one in the pic.

kaotic: yeah, the wheel also has a smaller diameter and makes for a more sportier feel.

indelible: I'll do that, I remember seeing that wire on the old wheel.

Thanks for all the comments.
