Yeah, I figured as much. If it was 2 pounds lighter, you would definitely notice. You can't save much weight and keep your airbag. It's either one or the other.

daaang! seeing it more from a distance with the dash is actually really nice. lol. But for the price, I might rather rock something different/more aftermarket. Nonetheless, I actually like it.

Big shoutout to @Pablitomarrero and Ivan at DCT Motorsports. Quality piece and lighter than stock with a nice strong grip. I LOVE IT!

I bet the black CF would look even better with a red centering stripe on top! They do that as well!

These guys partner with SonicMS. DCT rewrapped my steering wheel when I had a 5-series (back when SonicMS was still in Mountain View). Glad to see they're still around and expanding into the Twins. I liked how they were able to make the wheel much thicker and add thumb rests.
