I was going to tell you to do something about the blue block, but a couple pics later I saw you did. I really like your car.

Glad they worked for you.

I just love your car and everything on it....except for that danged steering wheel! {Sorry} It just looks too big and isn't the right color for the interior. Close....but when you have the 'perfect' car, close is not good enough.

I think a leather wrapped 14" wheel which is dyed the same as the lighter color on the seats....or...a smaller wood wheel that has matching wood to the console trim would "do the deed".

{...but I really do like what you've done with your car!}

I know what your saying about the wood color on the steering wheel, it could be different,but it does go. As far as size, I think the pic throws it off, it actually is a bit smaller than a stock steering wheel.
