For someone who knows what they are doing about a half hour at the most. I watched the installer at my tuner house put both steering wheels on the SL65 and E55 and he made it look easy.

If someone wasn't familiar with the car, I'd guess they may charge you an hour of labor?

We can take E63/CLS63 steering wheel and make it like this one on AmgFan's car! E63 and SL R230 Models share the same airbag so it will look exactly like this one showing in the picture. Of course we can change the carbon part into wood or just leather!

Also, it will sit right behind the edge and not very noticable from driver seat!
So, which paddle-shifter do you recommend for a 2005 SL55 conversion?

If you have SL55, just do E63 paddles upgrade!

MB OEM has 2 models of the paddles for the E63: up to 2006 and post 2006 I believe. I understand they are different, but my MB dealer could not tell me why... Which one is the right one? Is the part # 221-267-00-46?

I found a DIY for the E63 paddles conversion here (note that the pricing is in $CND): http://www.puremb.com/forum/showthre...ters-INSTALLED

Here's a thread that helped me do mine.

Another for this wheel... It's my second favorite mod behind the Meisterchaft Exhaust... If I could only pick two mods these are the two I would choose.
