Default Nardi steering wheel installed

I just finished installing a Nardi Gara Sport 350mm flat-bottom steering wheel, with perforated leather with red stitching. I wasn't a fan of the factory wheel with the giant airbag, I think this looks much better and gives me some more leg room. I plan on doing a custom decal over the Nardi logo on the horn button, probably the C4 "Jake" logo that @v8vette84 came up with.

I followed @B.W. 's install guide here:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ml?styleid=146

I used the NRG SRK-170H hub adapter, and also had to use an NRG SRK-500BK spacer/adapter because the Nardi wheel has a 6x74mm bolt pattern vs. the NRG hub's 6x70mm.

I tried to de-pin the airbag connector, but couldn't figure it out, so I just snipped the wire. I was careful to leave enough wire on both sides of the cut to be able to splice it back together if I ever want to put the stock wheel back on. I used a 2.2ohm, 5 watt resistor to make sure the airbag light doesn't stay on.
