Put on a newer steering wheel tonight.

Here was the old one

Bottom is what is looked like forever, then the leather at 12 o'clock ripped so I took all the leather off.

Here's the leather all the way off

Both my cameras were dead so I couldn't get any pics, but I'll get them up tomorrow.

Yea I may look into getting the column covers and airbag cover one day, but this will do for now. I want to get some more black interior pieces too. It already has a two tone with all the leather and black plastic pieces so I was going to make it even more two tone.

Thank you, thank you. The Mugen was discontinued a while ago and they are ridiculously hard to find. If you do find one now, you'll pay a grand for it. Marcus at Heeltoe Automotive is getting some replicas made for us over on AcuraZine. They are still currently in production so it's going to be a month or so before I even get it.

RE: My maintenance/progress thread
Nice.. I'm still not sure yet. I also just ordered the Progress rear sway bar for the 3G TL.



I was actually thinking about doing a different paint scheme since my hood and trunk need to be repainted. Do you think black hood, roof, and trunk lid would look good? I'd probably get Acura NBP (Nighthawk Black Pearl). Then the question would be.. what would I do about painting the 3pc spoiler in that situation? Paint the whole spoiler black or paint the trunk part of it black and the side pieces blue to match the car?

Just a few notes on the new GM fluid.. The old fluid was pretty dark; couldn't see through at all. Shifts are noticeably smoother (as expected) and everything feels good so far.


I plan on installing the Progress rear sway bar tomorrow afternoon Rock On

Got the sway bar installed last Saturday.

The bar and everything in the kit with the stock bar on the bottom
[Image: n5250133_48040507_9503.jpg]



This thing was a big upgrade compared to the stock bar. Feels real solid throwing it into turns now. Probably the best $140 I ever spent.
