Guys, I would urge you all to consider getting the leather horn pad. All of your steering wheels look terrific. And the Carbon Fiber bezel look great too. At this point, the only thing that is plastic is the horn pad. It will really finish the look!

Super nice wheel, but unfortunately mine arrived with the stitching already unraveling. Returning for a refund. Too bad.

Steven, I love the look of the leather airbag cover but can the manufacturer guarantee it will split correctly when the airbag deploys? The stock plastic cover has a "trough" molded in that ensures it will separate correctly and allow the airbag to deploy as designed.

*Thanks to Flame Red for this pic from his leather air bag cover installation thread.
