    Default New Steering Wheel...and an exterior picture

    So today I installed a Raid Sport Wheel w/ Airbag. I wanted to do something different from the GTI leather 3 spoke and the R32 wheel so I decided on this. I think it looks pretty good, plus it gets rid of the last VW logo on the car

    Big thanks to Chris at Traffic Jams for doing the install and not blowing the old airbag up in his face

    Here is the OEM Wheel for reference of what the interior used to look like:



    Here are a couple pictures of it (pictures were taken in the garage and i was messing around with the settings if anyone is wondering why they look a little off...):





    ...and one exterior shot:

    Yea, I thought about the B7 RS4 wheel, but someone on Audizine was selling one for like $1800 I got this one for $320 shipped BRAND NEW w/ the airbag. So it was a pretty good deal. Retail is 385 euros + shipping (which for an airbag is ridiculous) from Germany.

    Yea, that is my one complaint, the center looks VERY plain...it is a much better wheel though then the OEM one. This one is nice new leather as opposed to the old worn out faded plastic 4 spoker.
