Thumbs up My new steering wheel :)

So chris carlisi and I are installing my aquamist setup this sunday, when out on the street a Post Office truck pulls up. Wtf? They don't work on sundays, do they? Turns out it was a special delivery from Japan

I stole this thing off of ebay from RHD Japan for $152 (after an ebay coupon for 10% off) plus $75 for 3 day EMS shipping. It looks great in person, and I am very happy with it. I had to wipe the drool off before shooting this pic

Nice, did you have to splice anything in, aka the horn or the air bag connector?

I was curious about that. I knew I had to for the 97 momo rx-7 wheel I got from Japan. Not the efini one, but the newer one.
