oh goodness... that is hot. I hope you have at least 4-point harnesses. Getting in a wreck with only an OEM seatbelt only should result in a nice concusion.

Just a suggestion, getting alum pedals next would look alot more aggressive.

and Nismo ****! I was thinking of an aftermarket wheel, but the stock one feels top notch, quality wise! Does it feel cheap like so many other aftermarket models? How much was it?

in hawaii its illegal to switch steering wheels (cause the airbag and all) which sucks cause i really want an aftermarket one... but the stock steering wheel does feel pretty good, and that airbag might save my life one day...what to do, what to do

It is illegal in any state to remove the stock air bag equipped steering wheel.

Half of what we do to our cars is illegal...

I can't imagine why it took them 1.5/2 hours to do the install, but whatever I guess, they got it done. I just hope they didn't bill you hourly, because thats a 30 min install.

yup

well i was there for like 2.5 hours but thats because i had new spark plugs put in an oil change and the steering wheel installed. but i kind of think that i got a raped on the install for the spark plugs and wheel set up. my total bill was like $388 or something. i don't know whatever though

That is sweet looking. I would love to get something similar, just a lot of things to buy before that. The install cost is a little high, might have been worth attempting to install on your own perhaps.

Looks good! I'm kinda getting sick of my steering wheel too...
I wonder if I can swap it out for the new G35 steering wheel.
