new steering wheel

I got my new steering wheel from Vette Essentials and had VetteTech81 (Rick) from our forum install it. Rick is a full time tech and knows vettes well. He did a great job. I have read some wheels come off easy and others are hard, mine was on the harder side. Because Rick knew what he was doing he made it look easy.Thanks Rick.

If the color looks a little off it not, I used a flash.http://s162.photobucket.com/user/lfj...tml?sort=3&o=0

Mine is about 11 years old and I never knew anyone who needed a steering wheel upgrade. After eight Corvettes and over 150 vehicles I've never had one fail. I don't get it?

There was nothing wrong with his steering wheel, he purchased a two tone wheel. See post #2 for the picture.
