That is a great looking wheel. I am curious, as well.

I negotiated labor hours and part costs but in order to receive a warranty on the completed rebuild I bought all parts through my mechanic. If you want some more details on the build send me a PM and I'll forward an abbreviated part list and extras "while we were in there" list. The engine has 26,000 miles on it now and I'm very pleased with bump in power/torque.
Was your car in need of repair, or was this just a quest for more power? Sounds like a blast to drive.

The steering wheel was purchased from DCT Motorsports. If you have a 4-post wheel the interior will be transformed. The wheel padding is thicker and mine was ordered in the matching Metropol blue interior.

How big (and expensive) a job in light of the airbag?

With all parts and tools in hand, and taking your time, it's a half- to one hour job. Steering wheel starts at $800. Depending on OEM color matching, Ebay airbag start at about $400. Brand new airbag $1500.
