    Thanks everybody!!! Thinking of doing this to my steering wheel (this is my old wheel..I've got a JCW wheel now) next! Taking apart the MFSW assembly is very delicate though. I did it on my first gen, and broke one before I figured it out.

    Nice! How did mask the "S" so well? Right down to the edges...

    Well it's a 1 or 2 footer for sure, lol. I did my best but the problem began when I removed the masking. I couldn't handle the pieces when the paint was wet because I kept smudging it, so I couldn't remove the mask, and once it dried, removing the mask required me to cut with an Xacto to free it...so I just did my best.

    Maybe next time I'd use some frisket or an easier to remove mask.
