Default Steering Wheel mod

Does anyone know where I can get my steering wheel modified to the following list;
- Full leather / Acatana Re-wraps
-Custom Sports Grip Add-ons
-Thicker Grip modification
-Flat bottom Modification
-Genuine Carbon Fibre Inserts/ Wraps
-Special moulded curvy grips inserts.

Also, what are the risks I might face for taking out my steering wheel?

You will need an auto-electrician to disconnect the airbag for a start.

The only part you will be able to modify will be the actual outer part of the steering wheel (where your hands go) not the center as the airbag still has to be able to deploy properly. The only thing you could do is paint the center with vinyl paint.

dc the battery for 5 minutes before you disconnect the airbag,
its a piece of cake.

Dont need a auto leccy to do it. Its easy to do.

Also, have you seen the amount of work you want done? Just buy one like that. Surely that would be cheaper, easier?...

Defect worthy installing a non airbag wheel to a car that came with a bag from factory.
