+1 here - I'd say Ed's car is the sleeper here. I mean I could say I've got a sleeper myself... if I wanted to lie to you all :p.

Well, Ed's car is kinda a sleeper. He's running fairly stock externally...problem is, peeps thinks it's a stock 230 internally...big mistake...

That goes +1 from my point of view 'bout Ed's car! I wouldn't be surprised if his car is still faster than mine (but who knows). Ed, the shop is local to you also! At least, you're a little bit closer than I am.

On Ed's car, well, maybe it's time for you to port the blower too haha. Might as well - ****, your car is like the back of my hand now haha.

Another one...
Okay, so Flip and Frank were able to convince me (didn't take much convincing, considering this one is VERY unique, especially on a sedan)...And I'm so glad they did! It seriously feels like day and night with this steering wheel. I feel in so much more control of the car than before. Thanks to flip for help on the install (thank God he has tools, cuz I didn't have any of the necessary ones). Sorry, no DIY, cuz it's almost exactly the same as the 4 prong steering wheel DIY. Only difference is the clip that connects to the airbag is a little different on the 3 prong steering wheels, but one can figure out how to release the clip when seeing it.
Even though I thought it would look super funny to be mix-match, it's actually not that bad at all. The steering wheel is a little darker in person than it shows on the pics. It was night, so the flash made the interior seem much lighter.
btw, I still eventually want to trade for an ash 3 prong steering wheel (even though I think the mix-match looks okay), so for any of you coupe owners or 2004.5 SS owners with Ash interior (light grey/grey), if you like the mix-match color scheme, I'm willing to trade with you no problem. Obviously, it'd have to be in the So-Cal area, in order to swap:

Enjoy the pics!
