If you look at the sides of your steering wheel theres 1 tiny hole in each side. Take a tiny flat head and stick it in there about 1/2" and aim it twords the bowtie on the front as much as you can. as you push it in you should feel a little metal pin that your pushing in, once you push this in on one side pull back on the horn as to take it off, half of it should pop off. Then do the same for the other side. Let the horn/airbag dangle down and take the 2 torx screws out that hold the steering wheel bezels on. Then your good to paint and reinstall

Very nice car man.
Congrats on winning August COTM.
You do, however, need serious driver mod. People have run times just as fast as your fastest ET with much less power. Easy on the gas...lol.
Very clean, though.

Nah nothig crazy, The guy who tunes it is pretty good and i mean when i give it gas in any gear it takes off and acts just fine, its only those weird instances where it hurts and thats usually in the 1/4 mile when im going all out 1-4 gears. My Park/Rev is set at 3 grand which is good. Im thinking about switching tuners and going to 1BadBlueberry who is well known on this forum and offers a BAD tune, but im a little worried about my clutch right now. I believe his runs just fine on it but its something im looking into doing down the line. Wanna get me a nice 3" Catless b4 i worry about retuning. That will boost my numbers up considerably and my tuner will take a look at my car for free if I ask him too. Just didnt feel like buggin him
Ill be honest, the home page of css.net does look pretty sexy with my car up there

^I just was talking about that yesterday. I all the pillars and headliner black. Maybe put a yellow SS in it. I was watching Nascar Angels and Duplicolor sponsored them and they used all Duplicolor products to transform this dudes minivan, and the fabric paint worked damn well. Might fabric paint my headliner or get it rewrapped, but for some reason all the rewrappings I see I notice imperfections and wrinkles in them too much

I think i just googled Cobalt Diamond Plate mats. Had to modify the driver side so I can depress the pedal. Then I painted them gloss black. Still wanna put an SS in them but dont have a stencil
Thats exactly what I wanna do!
And the bowtie I used Krylon Fusion b/c its plastic and then I cleared it alot
