[PICS] DSV D-Type Steering Wheel Installed!!!

Got my new steering wheel about a week ago, finally got around to having my long time friend and GM mechanic install it. Took him about 15 minutes with a steering wheel puller. Was NOT easy to get the stocker off however, took some major muscle to pull the damn thing off.

This wheel is phenomenal. The improvement over stock is not minor, and I'm not talking about the obvious aesthetic improvement. The leather quality is great, love how the perforated leather feels. And the grips/thickness of wheel really make a very nice difference while driving the car. Love it!!!!

Onto the pics...

Looks so much better than the stock steering wheel. Congrats on the upgrade.

Nice!

Im just wondering, does it bother you a bit if theres a minor color difference between the middle of the wheel and the outside? The OEM middle thing is still there, and many fade due to wear/sun....
