Is the type r wheel a smaller diameter than the normal one? Also to bad the bottom piece doesn't come with it because the silver looks weird with the red. Overall tho it's definitely an improvement. Looks good man.

I think that's due to the angle of the picture; should be the same thickness.

Question: does this void ANY kind of warranty? How much total did this cost you?

Can you let me know when they become available again? Am ready to order one for my Si. Is the type R steering smaller diameter because of the flat bottom?

If you were in my area I could help you installed it. I'm a Technician.

Warranty would not be voided. Only on the steering wheel because the Vehicle didn't come with it. Just make sure the battery is disconnected when you remove the airbag, otherwise you will get airbag fault and it's not recommended to have voltage going thru it when it's being disconnected. It could ignite.
