Default High quality carbon fiber steering wheel!!

So after about a month of ordering my steering wheel, it finally came!! I have to post a thread about it because the quality is just unreal! Very oem looking carbon with no imperfection at all. The leather feels extremely oem as well. All I can say is that it is as advertised. Price is much cheaper than the asking price on eBay too. My iPhone can't capture all of the beautiful details. You guys can see more pics on the ebay auction. I'll post pictures of it installed in a couple of days


The actual steering wheel I got

Installed it just now and drove it into work. I love how the steering wheel feels. It looks OEM perfect!! Decided to wrap the button covers red to see how they matches with my red interior. I can always peal it off if I don't want it anymore

So where did you get it cheaper than the eBay price? The price on eBay is absurd.

Beautiful look, bro! It will tie in with the rest of your interior nicely. Love the ergo feel of this particular wheel.

1350 plus 20 for shipping. I actually emailed the seller to see if they can sell outside of ebay for you guys. We don't really need the carbon shifter. So minus the shifters, it would be even cheaper.

Do any of you folks realize we have a site sponsor here, that makes high quality steering wheels? Looks like a less expensive alternative to me. They have received rave reviews on the 2nd Gen IS forums.

Here's a thread:

No offense to the sponsor but the wheel in this thread is an oem wheel vs a generic wheel, the shape is better imo, quality is better etc.

First of all, I have seen a bunch of them in person and the quality isn't the same. I don't like their grip design either, too wild in my own opinion. Plus by the time you add top and bottom carbon plus the F logo, it's about the same price I paid for mine minus the carbon shifter

Yep!!

DCTM does use oem core, regular IS core. F core can be requested but quite pricey I believe. None F core cost 1100 bucks for top and bottom carbon. Mine came with carbon shifters and F logo for not much more. I love the quality of mine and the design way more too

Glad someone else has ordered one of these as well. I ordered the one on the top (they appear to have a little different shape). Both look great. Can't wait to get mine in. I will post some pics as well once I receive it in a few weeks hopefully. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago.
