I can't get over how awesome it feels in the hand...smaller than stock, much thicker, leather is top notch, and has the square bottom for better thigh/knee clearance. Love it.
May I ask how much did it cost you in total including shipping / tax / duty / install?

$755 CAD total. The USD to CAD conversion is what drove the price that high, but I didn't pay any duty or Canadian tax which was nice. I installed it myself so no charge there. Hefty price but well worth it since it is the one thing I hold on to the entire time I drive

I've got 57xtremes sitting in the corner that I've been waiting to put on until I can put my tarmacs on. May just go ahead and put them on now cause that really doesn't look too bad.

how do you install the steering wheel while maintaining the stock airbag? did you transfer it over?

also are you saying the steering wheel is cheaper if you don't live in canada?

The stock airbag and horn cover just unscrew and line up with the new base and wheel. Simple.

Yes it's cheaper if you buy from the US. There's a 2nd group buy going on right now. $501.50 shipped in the US
