Dick,
The GT3 looks nice. The Carpokes’ bezels and drive mode selector cover add a nice amount of bling. Is the blue tape on the steering wheel OEM? If not, what did you use to glue it on? I’ve been trying do this on my steering wheel but I can’t seem to get it right. It always looks like an afterthought

Larry,
Used this vinyl - "Gloss Finish: VVIVID+ Glossy Smurf Blue Vinyl Car Wrap Film DIY Easy to Install No-Mess Decal (1ft x 5ft)"
Cut 3/32" wider than the notch on my steering wheel. Then aggressively stretched the vinyl around the wheel which both narrowed the vinyl to fit perfectly into the groove and also thinned out the vinyl to look less bulky. Slightly overlapped the end to stick to itself and it hasn't moved.

Thanks Sean. Really enjoying the handling and the connection to the car from the 6 speed manual.
Hope you and the family are enjoying your time in Europe.
That's so thoughtful of you. Will shoot you a PM with my address. Stay well.
