Have any of you folks ever swapped out your steering wheels in favor of something a little better looking ? I like to swap it with a Burl-wood inserted type from Apsis. I'd like to spruce up the cabin a little?

Have seen some forum members post pics of new steering wheels - especially the D-type that is offered by APSIS. Looks pretty good. Viewed the APSIS site and saw the burlwood wheel - looks OK, just not sure it would go well in a C5.

I went with the stock shape, but with a red/black leather far better than the stock leather...I am happy with that, and no install issues by keeping the stock design.
