Installation Considerations
When upgrading your steering wheel, its important to ensure compatibility with your vehicle. Most aftermarket steering wheels require a boss kit (adapter) to fit correctly onto the Splitscreen's steering column. Some key considerations include:
- Hub/Boss Kit: Ensure the steering wheel you choose has a matching hub kit for proper fitment.
- Grip and Size: Consider a wheel size that maintains comfort while allowing clear visibility of the gauges.
- Material Choice: Wood, leather, or metal finishes each provide different aesthetics and handling comfort.
