Yeah removing the steering wheel on my car was 100% the worst and most annoying job I've had to do to the car since I've owned it.
I will never do another.

Where did you get the steering wheel and how much did it cost?
Thanks,

Thanks! No, I took it to a shop near me who did the seats. I had the sound system done at a local shop as well.

Love the steering wheel!
I had the same radio in my 1991 GMC S15 Jimmy 4X4. Loved that system I had in it. Along with the radio, I had Infinity 4X6" in the dash, two sets of Pioneer 3 way 6.5" in the doors, and Kenwood 6X9" in the rear. Had two 12" subs in a vented box in the back. It was awesome for how little $ I had in it.

Had one in my 1994 Camaro Z28 Convertible. I've used JL Audio for all speakers and amps including the sub. Excellent sound in my coupe!

Nice, looks classy, good color combo without being overdone. Really nice wheel, doesn't look too bulky like some I have seen.
