Mugen Racing III Steering Wheel + Hood painted



Got the hood back from paint. Really happy with the way it looks color matched. There are a few things that need fixed (paint-wise)but definitely like it more than carbon fiber.







Put the steering wheel on today after going back and forth with the cruise control situation. Decided to say screw it for now and threw the wheel on. I can always go back and put it on later. I forget who had it (haga?), but I saw the sparco steering wheel buttons used as cruise control buttons and looks super clean. I might look into that later on down the road. The steering wheel feels GREAT. Love the size of it, look of it, overall really happy and goes well with the rest of the interior bits in my opinion.

Car looks great, really love the look of the hood painted.

The steering wheel looks awesome as well, one of the things I need to address on mine once I get seats/roll bar/harnesses installed.

I love mine. its night and day in comparison to the stock seat and holding you in. Pretty comfortable for being a fixed back too.

Awesome... the hood looks way better painted.

I'm on the fence about getting rid of the oem steering wheel and ditching the airbag but when I see all these aftermarket wheels, I'm always tempted to do it.

Thank you, I was on the fence with the Spoon wheel or the Mugen. I had a Spoon wheel on one of my previous cars and loved it, but ive always wanted to try out suede. Pretty happy with it so far. We will see how long it lasts (durability wise).
