i cut the circle out of 1/4 inch polycarbonate( really any plastic or metal would work ) using a drill press, the oem center measures roughly 2.18" D, had to sand it down to get it there. then i roughed it up with 800 grit sand paper and sprayed it with a gloss black. for the rx-7 symbol i drew it up on auto cad and sized it to fit inside 2.18" D circle. i roughed up the circle again, this time with 1000 grit sand paper. then took blue painters tape and covered the entire circle. then cut out the auto cad circle with the symbol and taped it to the circle. i used a razor blade to cut the ouline of the symbol, making sure it also cut the tape. then peeled the unwanted tape away and sprayed it with gloss white. i peeled the rest of the tape off after about ten minutes and sprayed it with a clear coat.

Looks top notch for sure. I would buy one of those if I wasn't changing my wheel, I hate hitting the horn by accident wen throwing the steering wheel while drifting or messing around. Love the innovation though!
