I wanted to know what you guys think. I can't decide which steering to install. I just recieved my OEM 3 spoke and I have the raid on the way. The prices are $100 difference. Tell me what do you guys think?

OEM.

I would like the RAID better if it didn't have that "RAID" logo on the bottom of the wheel and had an inset for the center Porsche crest.

That's the only reason I'm having second thoughts in the first place.

I like OEM, or the thicker OEM "CPZ". http://69.74.45.24/cpx_p96138.htm

I'd go OEM. Does anyone know if carbon fiber steering wheel, or other interior trim for that matter, are covered under mfr warranty? My cousin who i bought the car from said dealer wouldnt replace. Its got long hairline cracks.

I was told by a service adviser, that it's not covered. I would try it anyways, it won't hurt.

Yes, the raid comes with an airbag. I love the silver carbon, btw.
