Cool

Ok I have a little modding day today. Bought a new battery (not istalled yet though), changed my AE's and the steering wheel.

I paid 665? for it with the airbag. Used, but in great shape!
Install was quite a simple job. I thought I could make a DIY since I couldn't find an exact one for this. What do you think, should I?

Installed:


What an advancement in driving pleasure !

Do the paddle shifters work on your new steering wheel? If so, is it in the diy?

I don't have paddle shifters, it's a manual.
