Looks pretty cool!! Did a shop wrap the wheel for you? Looks good w/ the red stitching.

The last photo of the wheel on the side shows some wabbling of alcantara. Is the alcantara flat and tight around the wheel? What's between the alcantara and the leather? Was it glued w padding in between?

Time to do the cluster cover too?

Officer Cartman is infamous around these parts
So is that your original steering wheel and shifter? If not, want to sell your old 3-spoke wheel to me?
