Few new mods for the car:

Quick overview of the latest stack of stuff:

Some goodness for the hands:




The steering wheel swap was straightforward, my girlfriend handled moving the buttons over and installing it. The feel is awesome, price was right, and so happy to not be burning my hands anymore.


The front Konis + GT500 mounts (one of my stockers fell apart when I took it out, ball bearings everywhere )


Can't say enough good things about this setup, a total change of attitude for the car.


I have another thread on this (see the YB section), but some quick shots of the new wheels:

$143 from tousley. Can't believe I had nearly convinced myself of a $1500 suede Audi steering wheel for my old s4 at one point.

Can you share the direct link for the boss wheel? Thanks.

How hard was it to install? Any tips?

I called to buy the steering wheel. Install was simple, 2 8mm bolts, 1 26mm bolt, and super straight forward from there.

I swapped controls as I have a sync-equipped car, and the boss controls do not have the phone, sync, or media buttons.

Those wheels look nice! I have seen a few with matte black rims around here, and they look freakin awesome. Yours is ballin' too. Guess you can't really go wrong on the YB.

Best color combination with tinted windows and aftermarket wheels I've seen yet. Looks **** sharp at the Shell station, almost like their colors accessorize yours lol. I've NEVER wanted a yellow car until... now.

I'm running 255/40/19 pirelli pzero's (stock brembo tires) on eurotek machined 19x9.5 ET40 wheels. I didn't want to go wider this round as I had a fresh stack of these tires and this is the daily driver wheelset. I have others for when the need arises

The springs are eibach's sportlines revision for the 2011 cars.

Last mod for a bit showed up today:

I'm still on the fence about installing it (they're gloss black, straight from the Boss302R Grand-AM program, the oem was able to remove the boss 302R logos and make a custom set).



What say you?

They'd look like this:

So you're going to have 2013 Boss stripes on your car with look-alike RTR wheels? I like it!

Looks great! You should tell the Shell station to sponsor you since your car is the same color. xD

Since you are asking for opinions, I don't care for any stripe packages. I'd still like to see how it turns out though and always enjoy seeing photos of your car.
