Start drinking milk. if I had little girl hands I would. take it off.. it's not pleasant but it gives my hands more to grip. Find me a nice steering wheel cover that I can thread and I'll take it off deal? lol

something like this but thicker http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...s#ht_675wt_939

Just curious, but do you grab and wrap around the wheel with your fingers?

I don't know if I am alone on this, but I just more or less just rest the top of my palm on the wheel, and only grab it for tighter turns. Then again, maybe I am driving way relaxed, lol.

Depends I guess...i drive many different ways. But to and from office I am doing 120mph avg, 95 min.... and I hold 10 and 2 and with a regular wheel it feels awkward.

I'll test clearcoat this weekend possibly and see how it works before i start disassembling because it was a PITA to get the vents off the trim and back on. You have to carefully bend them and just a tiny bit more pressure Im sure they would have snapped.

Sorry I forgot to answer this. i bought it off eBay from a powerseller. I wanted to make sure I got genuine 3M product.
I bought more than i needed but that's because I'm using it elsewhere. The seller's store is: https://store.carbonfibergear.com/ but i actually bought off ebay same prices shipped. I paid $120 shipped for 4' x 4'
