Good luck getting your original wheel off. I do a lot of my own work, but paying a mechanic to remove my old wheel was WELL worth the money. It took 2 full grown men with a steering wheel puller, 2 screw drivers, and a small sledgehammer 45 minutes of pounding and prying to get my original wheel off. I know another forum member who finally gave up and just replaced his entire steering column in order to install his new steering wheel.

Don't let that stop you. I have a great mechanic, and he charged me just under $100 to do it. There were no parts involved other than what I provided, and it took him 45 minutes to do the job. I was standing there watching while they did it, and I'm VERY glad I decided to let them do it for me. I LOVE my new wheel. Just take the horror stories as a lesson that there are some things that it's just better to let your mechanic do. I enjoy working on my car, but I would not have enjoyed doing that.

That's probably because it is not "too thick" at all 😁
Hope to show it installed in the car soon 🤩
Take care

Probably, at least two of them. I told myself that I would not spend money on the black one upgrading it but here I am spending money on it. Just put new Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires on it, got the VetteLights fog lights and corner lights put in, and have KnightDrive headlights on the way for it. So much for not spending $ on it.
Before you know it, the black one will be winning trophies just like the other two.

Even at Discount tire with my military discount they were still $1,363.30 out the door. Sure, I could have found cheaper tires but I do push the limits of the car from time to time 
The only way the black one could win a trophy is that no other cars showed up for the show
The previous own was not nice to the car and the paint shows it. Still, I couldn't ask for a better daily driver. 528 rwhp and a nice loud stereo
