Literally the same day I got the hood and fenders on, I was suddenly made to realize my GTi now had a look. Driving home just cruising down the highway, people were just randomly taking photos. Other cars would spot me, and speed up to get beside me to say hey or thumbs up or whatever. It was pretty cool, and still is. I got to thinking, man I'm putting my window down a lot to wave back or thumbs up other cool cars when they are next to me, and here I have this OEM steering wheel. So I decided a custom wheel was the next item, and with that I started looking around. I found this guy on FB call ZenCarbon. I liked his wheels, so I hit him up. He took my order down to be of a cf wheel at the top and bottom, and gray perforated leather on the sides. I waited a while for this wheel which was annoying, but it eventually showed up and on it went. Pulling the OEM wheel buttons off was a bit tricky, as the plastic clips feel more brittle than a toothpick. I used a plastic laptop spudger tool and a flat blade pick, kind of resembles a precision screwdriver like you use on glasses or something, only its longer. I had ZenCarbon tint the cf sections in a glitter red, and it looks pretty cool. It's different and that was the goal.
