As soon as I received the steering wheel, I took it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dctms.com\">DCT Motorsports<\/a> in Mountain View to have it rewrapped in Alcantara. New padding was fitted to make the girth 1mm thicker. The stitching was done in a European diamond pattern, and sectioned into quarters &#8211; influenced by the Porsche GT3 RS steering wheel. Everything is black on black, I&#8217;m not a fan of the &#8220;JDM&#8221; red nonsense. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/suederewrap.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/suederewrap-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"suederewrap\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3931\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/suederewrap-620x413.jpg 620w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/suederewrap-800x533.jpg 800w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/suederewrap.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/nardisteeringwheel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/nardisteeringwheel-620x413.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"nardisteeringwheel\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3932\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/nardisteeringwheel-620x413.jpg 620w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/nardisteeringwheel-800x533.jpg 800w, http:\/\/grandmighty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/nardisteeringwheel.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After sitting on my workbench for the past couple of months, I finally had the chance to throw it on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went for the OEM route with the steering wheel, in the flavor of a &#8217;99 Nardi.
