M-Trim will not fit regular sport steering wheel ...

I know there are a few people considering replacing the steering wheel trim on their sport steering wheel with the M-Trim. Just to let you know, it will not fit!

I realize a couple of people have done it but you really have to bend the rubber sides of the wheel and force it to make it fit. I tried but didn't want to force it and break anything. The more you force it, the more it pushes out the steering wheel buttons and the upper trim bends outwards.

If you look closely at the following pic, you will note the lower sides of the trim are clearly shaped differently. The M-Trim is really meant for the M Sport wheel not the regular sport wheel. If you are determined and still want to do it, let me know and I will sell you the M Trim I just bought!

Oh and one more thing...You will get a TON of error messages in the dash if you remove your steering wheel & airbag EVEN IF you disconnect the battery first! You WILL have to get the dealer to recode everything! Just a heads up for those who plan to do this mod...
