Kami Speed. They are a vendor on this forum.

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.

[QUOTE=Burrcold;2161896]Installed the DAMD steering wheel today and I must say it's such a good quality piece. It's shape, quality of leather, and feel make it seem very OEM (which is what I was looking for). I can't imagine going back to the stock wheel now. Awesome, awesome upgrade!


I was scrolling to the bottom of the page and your steering caught my eye. Wow, nice!

How are those DZ102s in 255/35? Do they run smaller or bigger than other 255s? Is there any stretch? Been looking at those tires but cant decide between 255/35 or 265/35.
not sure how they are compared to other 255/35, but they believe they do stretch a bit, not a lot. Rim sticks out a bit.

Pulled my BRZ out of the garage after having not moved it since December 1.
Dusted it off a bit, aired the tires up from ~31psi back to 35 and and installed the Diode Dynamics DRL/Boomerang module. I'm so ready for spring so i can park the winter truck and get back to driving the BRZ (breaking it in still really).

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?
