Searched and read up on steering wheel upgrades in the forum and the web.
Finally got it done. 3 hours, only bc I made few mistakes. I could probably do it in 45 min now.
Color is slightly off, but much better than my old steering wheel.
Wheel is from Taiwan. Great sellar on eBay. About $250.
Maybe I will get my OEM redone so I can use it again in 15 years when this one goes bad.
Any questions feel free to reach out. The only struggle was 1) getting the original wheel off 2) making sure the new wheel was not off center for steering, and 3) resetting the airbag into the steering wheel.
I found out in the process that the grinding noise I have is the lower part of the wheel scraping against the steering wheel mount bc the plastic is not grabbing it close to the steering wheel.
Photos for the ones contemplating.
