Default My new IUP wheel

Decided to swap out the boring, cheap looking plastic wheel and came across a good deal on s197forums

Before


Removed




I think it looks a lot better and install was a breeze. What do you guys think?

Pardon the crappy blackberry pics

Thanks

I've considered it. I like the IUP look but I haven't really come across any other kits I like. They're all a little too, flashy, I guess. I'm thinking of maybe wrapping my center console in a black carbon fiber wrap or something since it's seen better days.

What I really want now is a mycolor cluster

Looks great Alec.
I have the IUP and the fake leather wrap around the edges of the shift **** just came off. Other than that I really like the IUP. The MyColor cluster is pretty neat, it would have been color if it changed the colors behind the radio and steering wheel buttons too.

I have seen quite a few on eBay if you were interested in IUP set up.

I have learned to love my crappy blacktastic steering wheel. You cannot sway me Alec with your fancy new shiney unit. How much?

Thanks everyone!

I do like the look of the IUP dash so that might be down the road. And it would be nice if mycolor was integrated with all the other lights but maybe this summer I can get all the LEDs swapped out. I'm also taking a liking to the look of the ratchet shifters but I'm gonna have a hard time dropping ~$300 on one.

Yeah yeah I said the same thing. One of these days you'll come over to the dark side lol

But I got it for $90 shipped. They seem to go for around $180 on ebay from what I've seen but keep your eyes open and you can find them for a decent deal. I had to buy a 24mm socket to get the wheel off since I didn't have one so for under $100 out the door I'm very happy

Good deal, I'll keep my eyes out. Is the install easy or is the air bag gonna blow up on me? LOL

Speaking of shifters, I just scored a brand new in the box TCI rachet shifter shipped for 3 bills. Looking forward to that mod.
