Cool man, that info will definitely be useful for someone that hasn't done this mod. I myself went the other route, bought a used wheel ($80 on ebay, only it was gray and my interior is black) and had to paint the shroud to match. Thats why I would like to see yours, I just might decide to cut my original one and reinstall it for a cleaner look.
Congrats on the job. So the buttons are the only thing you bought, and adapted to your OEM pieces? I would also like to see a picture of the shroud if its not too much trouble.
