The steering wheel is easy, just pop the horn button out and loosen the center nut to remove. Make sure that the wheels are straight-ahead on your car, and install the wheel so that it is perfectly straight, and tighten the center bolt. For the horn connection, connect the spade connectors as is on my car. Don't forget that you'll lose Cruise Control though.

Yeah, I figured as much on the leaks.
Thanks for the info on the trim, probably will happen this weekend.
Today, I did the rear trunk lid, stock headlights (mine were cloudy), grill (mine was all worn), instrument cluster, and a couple of dash pieces. It already looks 100% better inside and out.
I would love to get my extra pair of 03 WRX seats in there, I will look at the possibilities.
I will also pull and paint the black exterior window trim at some point.
Josh (and Deede), thanks so much for posting in my thread and bringing my attention to your car - this has saved my bacon on this project big time, and I really, really appreciate it.
