Talking

should have gotten the Type S wood wheel, the ones with the chrome A in the middle. Nice anyways. I think it's too much $$$ to spend on that just for a few bits of wood.

I'm told that the chrome logo is actually part of the airbag assembly - meaning you have to buy a whole new airbag if you want the logo. Please correct me if I'm wrong )and give me part numbers because I'd love to do it)

Oh didn't know that. I was just shouting my mouth off.

It's not worth it then, to buy a whole new airbag to get a piece of chrome emblem.

Question

I like how the wood steering wheel looks, but doesn't your hand get all sweaty while driving???

Nah but the wood is kinda slippery. I took a 130 degree turn really fast and unexpectedly once and my hand slipped off. But only cause I didn't realize what kind of crazy turn I was getting into.

Cool

It looks nice Ming. Props man. I plan on getting the wood upgrade kit, but i don't think for me at least 500 bucks for the wheel is worth it. It does look unique tho.

For realz, I am definitely getting the wheel also. I just have to scrounge up enough pennies to pay for one first. Hellz yea, I looked in my couch and found 10 freakin dollars. I guess I have to go eat first.
