sorry Ed. Didnt know he turned out to be dud. Im glad you got it through though

Nein dud !
 

No no no...George..not a dud.. I think his injury impacted his ability to provide in-person support, but he was courteous,responsive and knowledgable (to a point). Sometimes, all ya need is someone to say "yea, that's sounds right".

So no dud at all.. and I appreciate the referral.

Thanks
ED

help us in the future, will ya?

I am thinking about this mod, Ed, how do you like the steering wheel now, is it fully functional? better than the OEM? I am thinkin I might need a bit a help with this one as well.

Nice steering wheel. I too, plan on upgrading to the sport steering wheel. In fact, I just bought a new airbag (for the sport wheel) last week on fleabay. I cannot wait until I have a new sport steering wheel. I'm not feeling the rectangular one.

It was very much worth the investment. On these cold NJ mornings, one press of the button ( actually 2 - buns warmers and hand warmers ), and it makes the drive for the first 15 mins very comfortable..

I also think it looks a lot better than the original 4-spoke and the "beefier" feel of the wheel reduces fatigue.

I highly recommend it if you live in a colder climate.

Let me know if you have any questions about the install since I'm an "expert" :rofl: now..

JP, if you need a hand, I'm happy to assist..
