The only downside is that, unless you have your steering wheel positioned "just right," you won't be able to see at least one, sometimes two, and, at worst, all of the gauges that are in front of your nose. But a quick release hub on your steering wheel makes adjusting the orientation of the wheel a breeze. It also makes working under the dash, while laying on your back, much easier. You should consider adding that to your list of stuff when you're putting everything together.
