New steering wheel :)
Thanks to Mike at ATI, I bought the Sparco Ring wheel in leather. I've wanted this wheel ever since I saw it on there website. Now all I have to do is get a hub adaptor and Quick release and Ill be done..here's just two pics from my phone and one In-vehicle shot...
The diameter of the wheel actually fits inside the OEM wheel
Cant wait to get this on. Ill update this thread of install pics and tips to help

You guys cant see the pics?? I can see em fine 
Thanks Peter Pan It'll feel better too
Alex its may be your browser Idk, and no Im sure its not legal but I have a 4 point and wear it anytime I drive, and IMO if I STILL die in an accident with that on then oh well it happens.
Enough negative gloomy talk! lol
I know when I get this installed Im gonna feel like im playing GT5 with a wheel
BTW Maryland only has one inspection for the ownership of the vehicle so I'm good

I'm at work, they have photobucket and a few other picture-hosting sites blocked so those links won't show for me. Anywho, I love Sparco wheels, just wasn't sure if it was legal. Either way, will be excellent for the track

Yea I can pretty much guarantee that its illegal, Im positive it wouldnt pass inspection either. So If you guys run into inspections alot in your state, then all you have to do is switch back(not hard one bit)
But yes at thet track...

Now all I need is a sequential transmission to replace the M12

Nice steering wheel man. Hey I notice your unusually normal dash. Did you give up on the CF over lay?
I bought a roll of CF vinyl from metro Restyling a few weeks ago. going to hit my middle console and radio bezel this weekend if I have time. It looks damn good on the roll
*EDIT* I just noticed the orignal date of this thread and your latest entry =) how is the dash gonig anyway?

I didnt give up I would never haha. But here in maryland this weather is seriously bipolar. Its raining one day,sunny the next, and I work on the nice days
The dash has been on hold and probably will be for a while until I get that harrop on and running I mean it is a diff level of bad *** haha.
Ive givin the thought of the vinyl and Im afraid that I might get bubbles because of the heat from the sun
soooo I may buy a couple yards of CF fabric or w.e. it is, and have an upholstery shop put it on the cap
That would be awesome

You go with the full ati setup or are you doing a momo/sparco hub? I just installed a personal neo grinta wheel with a momo hub and nrg thin quick release. It just needs a CF cover piece and it will be all done.
