I just picked up my car at the dealer during lunch and "WOW" I can't believe how much of a difference the wood/leather steering wheel makes. If anyone is thinking about it I highly recommend it!

I agree, the difference is huge. I just wish I was able to order the one direct from the factory, as that one looks even better with it's center stitched leather.
The main option I regret not ordering on my new ride is Keyless Go. I didn't think I'd want it initially, but now I regret not having it.
For those about to order - get the Keyless Go!
And my wife wishes we got the auto trunk closer too. That darn trunk really needs to be slammed down hard for it to latch.

Its not a very expensive feature either. Worth the $300 or whatever.

Tom, my dealer called today to let me know that the leather wood/wheel has finally arrived. I'll take the before and after pictures of wheels and post here. The new wheel will be installed on Friday.

I use my keyless go 95% of the time! It's very convenient.

I love my Keyless Go. I went to the dealer to order the wood/leather wheel last week. However the price was outrageous for the wood/leather with the heated wheel. I could not justify it in my head.$3300.00

He did tell me about doing that. I would like to also but I really have no need for it. Looks like the only way to go this year with the Snake is to throw on a 200 shot
