Feathers are a tool and therefore do not count against challenge budget.

Did some quick searches in my area. Cheapest used round automotive LED lights are $40 (for Jeep). Cheapest used NRG steering wheel in 100 miles is your exact model for $75. All other NRG's were pushing $100 or more. 

Don't make me come to the Challenge armed with a stack of Grants for protesting :)

We could just spend the $50 on alcohol instead.

I thought it was an NRG wheel, not a Grant wheel.  Huh.

I'll be honest, I am usually surprised by some of the low values people get for FMV on this forum (cf wing with some repairable damage comes to mind for free....), but then a set of E36 M3ty Chineseum lights get smacked with not free.

It's a bit confusing.

Hahaha I remember that steering wheel. 

Not only is it ugly but it felt rather flimsy.  It came in my mr2 and I replaced it with a toyota wheel that Brad gave me out of the wrecked celica behind his shop.  I may still have the matching color changing shift knob in my toolbox if you want it.

Grant is on the $50 bill, which is what it costs to lodge a protest at the Challenge.

NRG wheels are trash. The drift kids love em, but they're morons. It's all about the look. The fact that they command the prices they do blows my mind. I had my 15 minutes with neo chrome and in that time I learned that anything made from that was not a part I wanted to own....which definitely calculated into my valuation here. That damn thing is a hinderence.

yeah I want nothing to do with an nrg wheel. I have a drifty boi wheel that's beefy af but says JDM something on it. i'd much rather have it than one of them. I'd rather have a circa 1996 $19 grant 3 spoke chrome wheel, at least they don't flex.

I don't know why y'all gotta keep putting down my wheel like that.  If I had feelings I'm pretty sure they'd be hurt.
