I believe the airbag is going to be the one I have with my current wheel, so that shouldnt be changing. Not sure if thats what you meant.

Wow! Good lookin' wheel... and for 10$ who would not have bought it! I hope you got as good of a deal on the other carbon parts!

Thanks, getting this installed at ACG, of course, next week (and the interior probably by the end of the month) so we will post pics of the final product soon.

Luckily for me, without aftermarket wheels, my parents dont really notice any changes to my car. I remember when I went and got this car and I was set on getting the W212 E550, and I drove him, and my dad came out and said "I knew from the kitchen that wasnt an E-550....." So, they already know its loud, so for them, they didnt notice that the car sounded any different.

I'm not worried about them finding out - being a 31 year old attorney -- but I just dont want to have to deal with unnecessary constant running commentary.

Yeah, I think I paid $22 for the CF interior.

That is what I meant. I just wanted to know if you were going to cover the airbag in suede as well or leave it stock.

Maybe you are talking about DCT Motorsports wheels? Their products have more competitive pricing.
