I just want to say thank you to everyone in the forum for all their help! Here is a few pics of what I did on my down time from school and work.

Change my Interior lights to LED Blue, my Steering wheel to Momo Eagle with NRG short hub and quick disconnect, fixed my broken seat and change the leather seats, rotors and pads, changed the brake fluid and clutch fluid.

How ever my clutch pedal is sticking when stepping on it..so I need to get that Tick clutch master cylinder, when I change my clutch, H/C.

I'm also running a Momo, it took a few days to adjust but I wouldn't swap back for nothing in the world, Nice choice everything looks great, as far as your sticking clutch pedal if your doing a clutch sw depending on the set up you choose it will probably solve your problem without having to switch the MC, when my Mcleaod RXT was installed several years ago it solved every issue I ever had

The DD mod rocks ! I love it ! I am wanting to go FI but that "funds" cookie jar is only about halfway to the 10K I realistically know is needed to get it done So why not enjoy a new entertainment interior item in the interim ?

I really like the steering wheel. Which Momo model is it? The website goes by "Mod". Also, is it a direct replacement for the stock steering wheel?

Thanks....

Finally! I've been eyeing this steering wheel for a while, but have yet to find someone that actually installed it...let alone in a C5! I like it a lot. How's the color and material match the rest of the interior?

To run a steering wheel like that, what do you have to do to not have problems with the deleted air bag? I've been contemplating a similar mod to my car, possibly using a C6 wheel with the radio/bluetooth controls. The problem is on e-bay a C6 airbag is ridiculously expensive so I've thought of just eliminating it. The Momo looks very good too. Does the horn and all other functions work properly?

I was not going to post this, but purposely deleting an airbag, will definitely void any attempts at collecting insurance, whether you are at fault or someone else. You would be hard pressed to find a shop that would remove an air bag, for liability reasons..

Removing the air bag is just one simple way for an insurance company to void your insurance.

While the MOMO is nice, I would not put my liability, insurance coverage or financial security at risk.

Insurance underwriters file insurance rates based on DOT factory safety features, remove any of those features and your car become disqualified.

Just a heads up.
