Upgrade the interior of your Audi with the new Vivid Racing Steering Wheel. Vivid Racing has done steering wheels like this for cars such as Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, and more! This steering wheel upgrade brings in proper ergonomics and luxury feeling that the OEM steering wheel simply does not have. You spend hours behind the wheel driving your car, might as well make driving feel good! The new steering wheel is based off of OEM steering wheel cores. So no matter the year, the buttons you have, we can make a wheel for you. Vivid Racing's factory alters the shape while keeping the original inner ring for safety. The steering wheel features beefier hand grips at 9 and 3 positions giving you proper driving ergonomics. The steering wheel features many options you can configure such as a colored 12 o'clock ring, matching stitching, leather, carbon fiber, preforated leather, alcantara, and more. Because these are made off a factory steering wheel core, you retain your original buttons and trim along with reusing your airbag. This is not a simple cover but a re-engineered steering wheel!
These are FULLY customizable. Pictures are just samples of what can be done!
When you configure the options for your steering wheel, you will notice there is a core charge. Once we receive your original steering wheel back here at the Vivid Racing headquarters, we will refund you this core amount. If you choose to keep your stock steering wheel, you just forfeit the core charge. Some steering wheels are available instock while others are made to order and take 6-8 weeks.
Notes:
- Before we process your order, we request a photo of your stock steering wheel in your vehicle to make sure there are no differences or issues in the steering wheel build.
- Though some options are shown as $0.00 cost, a combination of or certain materials may require additional fees. If there is an issue with the spec of your steering wheel, we will contact you before processing. Some cores may or may not be available. In the event we cannot provide a core or the core we have to buy is more expensive than the core charge, we will contact you before processing.
- All of your factory trim, buttons, paddles, and airbag must be moved from your stock steering wheel to the new one. If you ordered your steering wheel with a trim or paddle shifter upgrade, you do not need to swap these.
- All steering wheels are CUSTOM ordered and cannot be cancelled once order is approved regardless of time frame or inability to install.
- Professional installation is required. We do not provide diagrams, "How To" guides, retrofit, or wiring instructions.

Options:
- 12 O-Clock Ring - This is the center ring on the top of the steering wheel that gives it the race look. On hard materials such as carbon fiber, this is painted.

- Steering Wheel Bottom Inlay - This is the portion of the steering wheel bottom around 6 O'Clock where we can inlay a separate piece of material. For example if you did all leather but wanted to have an inlay of carbon fiber there. This can only be done if enough material is there on the steering wheel.

Typical steering wheel cores do not include the center trim. This may be an additional cost for us to allocate a core. Should you receive a core with the trim done, we need to receive back your core with the OEM trim.

Great book with great lessons I want all my kids to learn.
Format: Hardcover
A fun book about kids going to “virtual” school during the pandemic, but like, the coolest virtual school I’ve ever heard of. They use VR headsets to attend from the comfort and safety of their own home, and because it’s a digital world, they have the opportunity to re-invent themselves with customizable avatars. Some go as themselves, some simplify, and some go all-out for reasons that come out as the story progresses. As three students learn to navigate a new school, new friends, and new challenges they learn life lessons that I wish I could drill in to my budding teenagers.
This was a fun, quick story that I’m enjoying reading to my middle grade children. I finished it on my own after bedtime because I couldn’t put it down. My eyes may have leaked a few times, but knowing Chad and Shelly’s other wonderful books, it didn’t surprise me in the least that I was so moved.
4.5 stars because some of the VR descriptions don’t mesh with real life VR capabilities (i.e. the motion sickness that would have plagued every kid the way the games/classes were described), but bonus points for the imagination and creativity in creating the school we all wish we could have attended. (If we couldn’t get in to Cragbridge that is…) 😉👍🏻
Thanks for another great book that I’m eager to put into my kids hands.

A middle grade read with great messages!
Format: Hardcover
“‘And I learned that being good is a lot more important than looking good.’ I took a deep breath. ‘I know, it sounds like a fridge magnet, but it’s true.’ Me. No filter. Smiling.”
Virtually Me is a clever, heartfelt, realistic fiction middle grade readers will enjoy! Three Jr. High students share their hopes, fears, and deepest secrets as they attend an experimental virtual school during the 2021 pandemic year. Through their experiences, they learn valuable lessons about self acceptance, valuing things other than appearance, reinvention, second chances, and true friendship. It’s a thoughtful story with great messages. There are even references to K-pop!
Bradley, Hunter, and Edelle all have their own reasons for attending virtual school. Ever since having a mean prank pulled on him in 3rd grade, Bradley has withdrawn himself and tried to remain in the background. He longs for friendship and acceptance. His secret dreams of sharing his talent for dancing and love of K-pop remain hidden. Attending virtual school gives him an opportunity to reinvent himself. He can design his avatar any way he wants and create a new, more hip persona.
Hunter is hiding a secret from his friends. He’s experiencing a form of alopecia most likely alopecia areata and is embarrassed about his patchy hair loss. He’s extremely competitive and for one so focused on appearance and winning, this trial is extremely difficult. Virtual school allows him to be his popular, competitive self yet hide his real appearance. But, his drive to win may just be his downfall.
Edelle is attending virtual school because her mom hopes to convince her that appearances aren’t everything. For the popular girl who lives for likes on social media, being forced to adopt a plain avatar and miss out on in person school is going to be difficult. Edelle is in for a huge shock when she learns what it’s like to be just average looking. When her supposed best friend who fawned all over her in real life doesn’t recognize her or give her the time of day, she has to decide what real friendship is.
This is one of the first middle grade books I’ve seen that subtly addresses the pandemic and what kids were going through during that time. I loved the lessons each kid learns as they navigate online school The virtual setting allowed the kids to really explore who they were. I liked how each one had a different problem to overcome which made them easily relatable. I also loved Jasper. He’s the glue that keeps everyone together and when you learn his reason for attending virtual school, it really drives home the messages the authors were trying to convey throughout. It’s well written, fun, and even enjoyable for adults to read. This is definitely one book I’d recommend to ages 10 and up. I received advanced complimentary copies from the publisher and NetGalley. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review. 4 1/2 stars

Virtual reality school!
Format: Hardcover
This book explores the idea of an online school that looks and feels like a regular school but is attended from your own home while wearing a VR headset. The reader experiences it through the eyes of five very different kids:
Bradley Horvath is full of personality but has always been picked on or ignored because he is overweight. Until he changes the appearance of his avatar and goes by Daebak nobody knows that he loves K-pop, dancing, and is fun to be around. I loved getting to know Bradley and liked him from the first page.
Edelsabeth/Edelle Dahan-Miller has the opposite situation as Bradley. She is beautiful and popular, so nobody sees her for who she is inside. Her mom requires her avatar to be plain so she will learn to focus on other people and not just on looking cute. She is embarrassed and doesn’t want anyone to know it’s her so she changes her name to Vanya.
Hunter Athanasopoulos plays lacrosse and loves to be the center of attention but doesn’t want kids to find out he now has bald spots from alopecia. He doesn’t want to be judged by his hair loss even though he judges everyone else based on their appearance and is only kind to people who are beautiful and popular.
Jasper is known for the yellow tracksuit he wears. He is kind, a peacemaker, and brings people together. He likes soccer and video games but attends virtual school for health reasons.
Keiko is the least developed character, but I would like to know more about her. She is moody, doesn’t talk much or show emotion, and is good at art.
I enjoyed reading this book. It pulls the reader in and keeps you there with fun descriptions. The kids trade off telling the story with each chapter in a chatty conversational way, so it never gets tedious or boring. It has a feel-good happy ending and teaches kids lessons along the way like what being a true friend means and seeing the people around you for who they are. 5 big stars! Thanks to Shadow Mountain Publishing for an ARC to use for my review.

Great read!!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
What an incredible story. I enjoyed this even more than I thought would. Such a different story, but highly relatable in so many ways for kids. The pandemic was rough on everyone, especially since school went from being a fun place where you could hang out with your friends to a bunch of heads in small rectangles all trying to talk at once. For Bradley, Edelle, Hunter, Jasper, and Keiko, that’s about to change.
A mysterious box arrives at each of their houses, and they’re invited to attend a virtual school. More than just being online, they’ll be able to create an avatar of themselves and interact with their friends and other classmates in real time using VR headsets.
For each of them, that presents an opportunity to become someone they’re not, or someone they haven’t been. For Bradley, it’s a chance to come out of a self-imposed shell. Edelle hopes everyone will see her for who she really is, not just for how she looks. Hunter is looking forward to pretending he’s still the person he was last year. Jasper wants to get over past assumptions. And for Keiko, it’ll allow her to disappear into the crowd.
For all of them, it’s a chance to see just how much they’ve assumed about each other in the past and maybe an opportunity to become friends. I really enjoyed the chapters alternating POV, & getting to know each kid, & their reasons for going to virtual school, & even their reasons behind hiding their identity-for those who chose to. Phenomenal character growth in this with these characters. They learned so much about, not only others, but about themselves through this experience. About true friendship, what's really important, how others see us by our actions, & so much more. Many lessons learned for sure. Everything about the virtual school was intriguing to me, & I loved all the detail the authors put into it. Edelle & Bradley are my favorites in this, & loved both their stories so much. Highly recommend. This is out now! Beautiful cover by Garth Bruner too.💜

Entertaining while teaching valuable lessons.
Format: Hardcover
Virtually Me
By Chad Morris
and Shelly Brown
This school year will be different than any they have ever experienced before. With a pandemic changing everything, a new VR school is how Bradley, Edelle, and Hunter will experience the upcoming school year.
Seeing this as a chance to reset their lives could make this the best year for some, while others see this as a significant setback to their entire existence.
Bradley decides to make his avatar everything he isn't. He hopes to make friends and escape the public perception of who he is. And taking on a new persona is just how he plans to do this.
Edelle is in VR school because her mother doesn't like who she has become. Popularity was Edelle's goal, which affected her in ways she hadn't even realized. All Edelle wants is to get back to the life she had. And she refuses to let anyone know who she is in this new school since her mom insists that her avatar not be fashion heavy.
Hunter has a secret and doesn't want anyone to know about it. Attending this school is the perfect way to keep everyone in the dark. Now he just has to make sure he is the star that he was before.
The virtual reality portion of the book is interesting as it provides a chance for the various characters to change something about themselves. I can't say whether this was a realistic portrayal as I'm not familiar with VR personally, but I liked how this was the catalyst that allowed the main characters to change. Before appearance was the driving factor in who was considered worthy of friendship or notice. This actually proved to be an equalizer in some respects.
I highly recommend this book to middle-grade readers. It is an eye-opening experience. It entertains while sharing an important message about accepting a person for who they are as a whole and not because of outward appearance, athletic abilities, or other skills. Everyone is more than they appear at first. In this age of social media, I think this book is a must-read. As someone who was judged on the clothes I wore and even bullied in school, I applaud the authors on a well-delivered message. Sometimes we need to get in someone else's head to truly understand how they see a situation.
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.
