I decided to go for F. But till I get what I want for my Slow50 I'm gonna get "certain pieces" texaliumed

I just worry about long term effects... Repeatdly grabbing the steering wheel, shift ****, door handles, etc... After they've been wrapped in texalium if they will wear out, discolor, etc....

Curious if you heard anything else about the flat bottom all leather steering wheel,C.

I thought engine heat too. Oddly, my painted engine covers have no discoloring to them though.
I haven't heard anything yet other then the all leather one should be here before christmas.

I just had a online chat with a LexTuners rep and he said a group buy may be available tomorrow on the flat bottom wheels and a all leather will be available.We'll see.

The grey carbon does look good. If you have the dough, go for it. It is a unique mod as you said, and to each their own.
