Wow lots of mixed reviews, i love it lol. Well to answer some questions I did the airbag because it goes along with the dash trim line (that pieces pops out separate, I in no way jeopardized the safety of the airbag). I do upholstery all the time so just wrapping door inserts or trim and what not in plain suede or leather gets old to me. After about 10935720839257 black suede interiors it gets boring so I had to do mine in some double stitched awesomeness

I like everything except the steering wheel. Everything else looks good. I especially like being able to write notes on your headliner.

Would you guys think it would look better if I were to wrap the whole steering wheel not just the center cap? OR I could always take the suede off and put it back the way it was...

Yeah I did it myself, its what I do for money Um ball park price would prolly be around $1200 ish .... those diamonds aren't easy and they take TONS of time

Yeah the small details like dying every cream colored plastic piece eats up some time, but its well worth it. Ive actually had people tell me to leave their plastics the oem color and wow, black headliner with cream safety handles looks ridiculous.

I have not done an 8 / 9 yet but I am about to do my buddy's 9

If you're going to disable the airbags you might as well just be baller and pick up an aftermarket wheel.
