    my brother came up with the idea and we carried it out. i think the steering wheel looks absolutely great! wanna know how i done it? i took a basiclly NOS door panel emblem and 'worked' it a little (forgive me, lol), and integrated it into my horn button. so what do ya think?

    That looks great! I have the same horn button on my Grant wheel. What do I need to do to make that for mine? I gotta make one too! It would look great in here~

    ill try to make a write-up on it and pm it to you. it was fairly simple. but the biggest problem is if you want to keep your horn. i wont be needing one myself so i didnt worry about it but it can be done to make it functional.
