although this is the old sport steering wheel, i would guess it is the same process:

THX X, I ordered the CF tape and am going to see how that looks. I will say one thing, I ordered from ECS, did the upgraded shipping, then they didn't ship for 3 days post order. Anyone else have such great service from ECS, sheesh!

Ill snap some shot post install.

THX All!

problem, the photos in the DIY do not appear to be the same. Do I just pull a little harder? Any help would be appreciated.

$300 for the wheel? you must be insane, the steering wheel is $5-700.

That's a pretty big range there. It also includes $300. ???

There are 5 size 10 torx screws holding the cover in place two either side at the top and one below.Have a look behind the wheel and you will see the holes.Unscrew from the back of the wheel turning it to gain better access.
I think it's possible to take off the wheel trim without removing the airbag from what i have heard.
I did this job way back and resprayed the trim to match my interior and it looks as good as the day i did it.;)
