Hi Bud: Thanks for the photos and the link (in subsequent messages). Can you describe the process for replacing the stock steering wheel with the etched version? How easy is it to get the stock one off - and is drilling necessary?
Just looking for an opinion from someone who has actually done it, before I go ahead and upgrade the wheels on my flat car load.
