Yep, when I saw it was hitting I was like ahhh that's why they installed them in the middle.
Honestly they're made of pretty soft plastic and have some flex to them. It probably wouldn't have been a big deal with them touching but I know it would eventually cause small rub/wear marks.
So I've been lurking on this thread waiting for a solid answer as to where they actually go and my lack of patience got the best of me lol.
Installed mine the other day and this is where I ended up with them. I originally had the drivers side one lined up with that little seam on the mirror...
In order to activate the pathway lighting you have to hold the panic button for like a second and a half it doesn't happen automatically.... Yes it's dumb
I like the stitching but I agree the HKS logo up top ain't it. Maybe if they just had the oil splash as the center line on the top of the wheel it would look better.
Just figured I'd share for all the other HKS nuts on here like myself. I'll be skipping this one though.
New offering from HKS. Seems like its HKS Japan only as of now but I don't see why it wouldn't work on LHD cars as well.

Yeah same here. I've had the same mechanic since I was a teenager and they are a family of car guys. They just plug my car in and then slap the sticker on and I'm on my way in less than 5 mins.
You should also help your friend out by telling him how god awful this wing looks and convince him to remove it.
That's what a real friend would do...
Sorry that's all I could contribute ??♂️
