Yes, I picked up my car on wednesday, and its pretty much looks brand spankin new :D
I decided to get myself a new steering wheel, something smaller, that adds a personal touch.. went to moto equip and got myself a nice grey leather steering wheel with a boss kit to suite all up $200. Money well spent I reckon, not only does it look good, but gives you a better feel on the road, more responsive, smaller, better grip and more precise, if you get me :) , anyways if your looking for a cheap 'mod' (not really a mod.. but meh) ide suggest changing your standard factory steering wheel to something smaller, for better handling and looks! I should get some pics, it looks smick and just suites my interior.

What's wrong with the Factory one? isn't the bigger that better? hahaha....

The factory one is fairly easy to turn, so how is the turning effort now? any difference?

The factory one is huge! I believe the smaller the wheel, the more control you have over it, Im not sure if all the new 3rd gen's have the same wheel, but my 97' TE's wheel is crap! once you have experienced a small steering wheel you will never go back :cool:

I must admit though, with the standard wheel it is easy to turn (not much effort involved) and is very light and easy to throw around, but with a sports wheel, its just so much better! I cant find the words to explain it, but i will never look back on it, no regrets and is so worth that few $$.

hehe, anwyayz, the stock TE/TF ones felt like cheap, hollow plastic (especially the ones with no airbags)
