IRT the flat bottom, it’s a bit of an optical illusion. They don’t flatten the bottom. They add material to make a round into a straight. So actually, the outer perimeter of the steering wheel becomes bigger. If your seat is low and your thighs are thin/normal, you’re ok.

I’m very pleased with Custom’s work.
Yea i wasnt sure how they achieved this flat bottom look... In my mind the whole point of flat bottom is to give driver more room to get in and out.. but if they add material and its just for looks... defeats the point doesnt it....
