My one friend just got one and he had the body shop force it on. They banged it on with a hammer I believe.

Looks really nice, but not worth the cost and work to make it work. Well its actually not that expensive since it has a working airbag.

It's impossible they got it fitted that way.

You cannot bang or attempt a force on anything to the steering column. All steering columns are designed to be a "collapse item" when impact occurs.

The teeth on the steering wheel didnt line up so the forced it on. They did it and I saw the finished result.

Sweet steering wheel, but doesn't sound like it's worth the effort. Smashing or jamming something (square ped into round hole) together will eventually fail... I hope it doesn't fail on a high end speed run... Good luck!

With all that said, it's still a sweet looking steering wheel!
