A thing of Beauty...New Steering Wheel

Always love to mod my personal cars. It’s my hobby. It never ends.
Part of what I always wanted with the G was a smaller sportier steering wheel. The OEM flat bottom ones I found on eBay were nice but I would have to loose the heated steering wheel feature. With the canadian winter being brutal, this was a feature I couldn’t forgo.

Luckily a member on here referred me to an ebay seller who built custom wheels.
he is based in Latvia.

We chatted over ebay and whatsapp. He had an idea of what I wanted and set out to build it.

It arrived today. I love it. Cant wait time install it.
the attention to detail is magnificent. He did a great job. Am very happy with the result.

The steering is smaller, beefier and more attractive with red stitching.
I am sending my seatbelts out to a company in Boston to be changed to red webbing with black edges. The red seatbelts will
complement this steering perfectly.

Some pics;

Sweet! I have not stopped modding mine since it arrived a couple weeks ago - nice to see others are making them personal as well. I am also changing the chrome airbag Star as well (no chrome anywhere) albeit mine will be Gloss Black on a Blue leather background. Anyway, cannot wait to see more of your changes in the future, starting with that steering wheel mounted!

Hey

I love it. So sporty. And feels better too.
I shiuld be taking off the seatbelts sometime next week and sending them to a coming in Boston to have them rewoven to red with black edges. Will complement the steering wheel really well.

Who made it? Link to the seller's store? And what are you doing with your OEM wheel?

OEM steering sitting in a box in storage. Have no use for it. Might consider selling it.
