Exactly, the A33/B had/has one of the best looking steering wheels in a Max.

It can be done, just have to do all the schematics on the wiring. A guy who owns a 4thgen just put a Z-steering wheel in his.

Pics oh yes I would gladly show.

Z wheel is nice, but it's not a Z, so it's a fail, IMO

if the hand grips (perforated leather portion) were wrapped in tan-color it would look decent, maybe.

Wow great job!

I think it would look better inside a black interior car. The chrome pieces on the wheel are a bit out of place. Looks much better than the stock steering wheel though.

The 6th gen wheel looks incredibly cheap, again, just My opinion. The wrapping on it looks like the type of fabric you'd find on the lowest end ikea pleather chair.

The OP has a 7th gen wheel.

The V35 wheel looks cheap; especially the tan color. Like a 5th gen wheel with a 3 spoke design. The V36 looks like **** though.

I'm not bothered by the shifter. It's the screaming gay yellow shifter bezel that offends me. Seriously...who spent time and money on that?! Different strokes for different folks I suppose...
