Default Steering wheel upgrade

Well, I finally got tired of the black tar goop coming from my steering wheel after it sat in the sun. Friday I got it on my shorts and that was the final straw. So I jumped on eBay and ordered a new grant black 3 spoke with install kit 3196. As soon as it arrives it goin on. Has anyone put a grant on theirs? Pics? Hard to change. I changed one on my old ford a few years ago and was not too bad

Get the puller. Its like 10$.

I learned that once the hard way on a 92' lumina. Just get the puller, or you may pull/break more than intended.

13.75 hardly noticeable in difference from stock. I was worried at first but I love it. I bought it an install kit 3196 from summit racing on eBay Friday and it came today

Alright. I was thinking about getting a 13" or even a 12.5". I like the look of the smaller wheel.
