Steering wheel cracking/cuts

Pretty much as the title says: have you guys had any issues with your steering wheel, whether it’s the leather cracking or getting scraped up from something like your keys?

I had mine fixed once before, and it was covered pretty well, but now I’ve got another small crack/scratch—whatever you want to call it. It drives me crazy because my thumb keeps hitting it. It’s a tiny thing, but it’s incredibly annoying.

I’ve seen a few videos saying you can fix this yourself. I’m pretty confident doing a lot of things, but this is one repair I’m not so sure about tackling myself. Has anyone here done it? And does anyone have an idea of how much it would cost to have it professionally repaired?

One last thing: I’m not really a fan of steering wheel covers, so that’s unfortunately out of the picture.

Big mouth snorkel

After a couple of your guys' tips and tricks, the bumper came off really easily it only took about 20 minutes. The photo isn't great, but you can barely see it, which is awesome. I don't really notice a huge difference. Maybe the pops are a little louder, and there's a slight increase in intake sound, but hey, it's been sitting in a box for two years, so I can't really complain.

Running a little bit of advice

I was originally trying to sell the Velossa Tech Big Mouth intake. The first guy flaked on me (of course... it's Reddit), and the second guy hasn't gotten back to me yet, which is fine.

Now I'm thinking about just installing it on my own car. Someone told me it's only a few bolts holding the bumper on, but I've never taken the bumper off before. I'd appreciate any advice from people who've installed one themselves. I haven't been able to find many YouTube videos for my car most of them are for the Elantra N, and apparently the bumper comes off differently.

If anyone has any tips or tricks to avoid breaking the clips, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, if you don't mind, post some exhaust clips in the comments along with what exhaust setup you're running. I already have a mid pipe, and I'm thinking about getting a muffler. I'm looking for something with a deeper tone and less of that raspy, "fart can" sound.

X-Force resonator delete

This is it in sport mode I have the stock muffler on it and it sounds quite nice just at 2000 RPMs a little cracks and pops but not overly noisy.
