Default New CF Steering Wheel Or PPE Headers?!

It's about that time again CL!! MOD TIME!!!

So I need your guy's opinion. I have an IS350, and currently have the REAR sway bar installed. As we all know, on a IS350, the rear bar does most if not all the work when it comes to body roll. Yet I've always wanted the COMPLETE set. As of lately fancy steering wheels have hit the market for our cars, and my steering wheel lost its new finish and is scratched up.

With that said, should I get the steering wheel, or suspension FRONT sway and chassis brace.

the chassis brace is pretty useless for daily driving, and since you have the rear already the front one will be barely noticeable...i suggest getting something else

I have both, but you will enjoy the look and feel of the wheel EVERY time you drive your car! The chasis brace will just act as a rear suspension scraper over speed bumps.

Do you have CF interior trim to match the steering wheel? IMO, it might not look right with wood/silver trim and a CF steering wheel.

So I just noticed that PPE headers arn't much more expensive then the steering wheel, and now its between the Headers and Wheel.

MODS: Please change my poll selection from the F-sport sway and brace to ppe headers. TIA!!!
