Default Finished Grant Wheel Install!

I just hope everything is right, don't need the wheel fallin off on me!

Used one washer under the black bell and trimmed the bell a little, it still rubs just a little bit, but I figure eventually it will just wear itself down. What you guys think?

Not really having a hard time, just never done it before and couldn't figure out what too use too trim the plastic, ended up spendin the money and grabbin a dremel. Also, still not sure if I put the washer in the right place, but it seems too be in there good, so w/e, hehe! I'll get some better pics, the camera phone came out kind of blurry. And thanks, looks so much nicer than my stock wheel!

Nah, I said **** the horn! Oh and I don't know if my car is different from everyone elses, but those wires for the airbag didn't go down through the column, as I started trimming with the dremel I bought (which by the way is the coolest little tool, I got the 400 XPR which came with a bunch of accessories and attachments and it's badass!), all the sudden they just fell out in like a black connector. I'm gonna try and get some better pics when I get a chance that aren't so blurry!

Yeah, I always thought the 98's were the only one's with major differences, but guess the 99's had some too.

Congrats, you have succeed my friend! I've been getting those kind of reactions from the Nova for a few years, and the feeling is great!

Nah, it's just the wheel, my seat is bolted straight to the floor, so i'm pretty low myself, but i'm decently tall, so it makes up for it.
