Thanks for getting back to me. I actually installed it this past weekend with zero issues. It was a lot easier than I thought. I'm always hesitant with the clock spring and the airbag but I made sure the clock spring was held down as I pulled the steering wheel so it didn't move. Took me no more than 20 mins taking my time and with the extender there was tons of wire.

All that said and done, it's a totally different experience driving the car. I can sit back comfortably, and the steering wheel is positioned perfectly, not to mention it no longer hits my knees so I have full rotation and can apply proper torque while driving. I kind of wish I got it ages ago.

Any one on the fence about getting this should buy it immediately. If you've never quite been comfortable and felt the steering wheel was too far or you were leaning forward to wrestle the steering wheel this is the answer!

Great job @949 Racing!

I had the same issue, it would unplug when trying to install the airbag, how do you fab up this extension? What parts needed?
