I am tired of looking at the area around my key barrel that is scratched from the previous owner, can I replace the steering column cover without taking out the steering column or does anybody have any suggestions on how I could make this look better?

Thanks!

Perhaps you could get it covered in that "Carbon Fiber" cloth??

Great! Is it just a couple screws underneath the column?
Thanks!

I think you need to remove the steering wheel. I just had my cover replaced under warranty for the same reason.
