But I agree - totally worth it for the UCP benefits.

Interior looks great!
But I'm sticking with leather trim - and have no intention of giving up the ZHP knob.
I'm sure swapping out the actual pedal will prove easier than the clutch/flywheel job I'll be taking on here shortly. I'm back on forth on the knobs. I still miss my larger, weighted ZHP knob at times. But this fits the theme much better.

I had been drooling for over a year. Absolutely worth the money, and you're correct on the pricing. I was also able to sell my old wheel sans trim for around $150, so around $500 to upgrade. I'll be paying close attention to the wear pattern, but my perforated leather wheel hadn't held up particularly well over the past 10 years/100,000 miles anyways. Plus, this wheel makes me excited to get in the car every morning.
