New steering wheel installed

Hello all. I got a new wheel installed this past weekend in Carlisle. Thanks to the guys at MCS. Great feel, look and quality. Total cost was 550 installed plus your wheel. If your looking to get one I highly recommend them. You can find them at mikescustomsteering.com

Looks good and very functional. I like how it matches your interior colors.

Very nice ! I might look into buying one of these myself, particulary if they can provide a Grand Sport "center cap."

Only way to get an OEM one is to replace the airbag with one with the GS logo already there. They came on 2012 and 2013 Grand Sport.

New airbags are over $500.

Did the $550 include the wheel? I removed my wheel when I put my Hud in and its like a 15 minute job.

Based on your response, I'd certainly utilize my existing '13 GS "bag/cap" assembly. I like the wheel -but- not for ~$1000.~

It included the wheel and install. They removed the airbag and hardware from the old one and used it for the new one.

Its 550 for the wheel. They are going to use the airbag that's in your car now along with the hardware for the new wheel.

Those wheels are really nice. I love the blue stitching.
I am at 142K miles and can't justify buying any new mods on my car. But my next one will have a better wheel.
I love the wheel in my Cadillac and wish the Corvette would have come with a better steering wheel.
