DCT Steering Wheel Installed(pics)
I just wanted to say thank to Ivan and the crew at DCT for changing the feel of my drive every single time I hop into the E55. I've only owned the car about 2 months now and the one thing that I hated was the cheap plastic feel of my stock steering wheel. So a quick call to Ivan and 10 minutes worth of work in my garage and walla everything is blissful.

While the DCT Steering wheels aren't "free" it is a mod that you will feel and enjoy everytime you drive the vehicle. I can't say enough about the quality of their work as well.

Here's a few pics. I just wanted to let everyone know its a worthwhile upgrade and if your on the fence you should definitely pull the trigger on this mod.

Slate Grey Metallic. Basically Charcoal. But the color does seem to show differently depending on weather conditions...as seen in the two pics below.

Steering wheel looks great, can't beat a 993TT either. That is my favorite body style!
