Not sure I'd call the original "ugly", but the after looks very nice. Steering wheel looks awesome!

I haven't changed my GS vert much as I like how it came from the factory.
I do like your MODS though you have sunk significant $$$ into your car and
I certainly don't feel it was ugly as purchased.

Where did you purchase your steering wheel?

I did sink a lot into the car but thats ok. I found the experience really enjoyable. Everytime i get a package it was like christmas. The wheel was made by a company called carbon fiber element based in new jersey.
