I just ordered a DCTMS top and bottom silver carbon wheel. $1049 if I ordered by the 31st. I'll post pics when it comes in. Hopefully it doesn't take the entire 6 weeks. Your wheel looks good MK4.... let us know how hard it was to install.

Thanks, I actually swapped steering wheel for another F before so it's not hard. Takes about 30-40 min. I took my time since it' was the first time I have every done it. The instruction is on youtube, just follow it. Make sure you take a picture of how the airbag wires goes on so you can re installed the same order. Don't want to cross them up lol

... btw, that dealer vendor on ebay that MK got his wheel from told me they could do one like that minus the shifters WITH a core exchange for $1200... for those who wouldn't mind giving up their stock wheel.

KillnNoobs,

That wheel doesn't come with paddle shifters. I have that wheel, you convert everything over from your stock steering wheel. It isn't hard, but you just got to take your time with it, if you never changed a steering wheel before.

Joe, she is an ebay seller. Shipped from Texas but her location shows Australia for some reasons. She offers a wide arrange of carbon steering wheels for pretty much any cars. If she doesn't offer one, she can custom make one with an oem core. All I know is that the quality is so good that it should be OEM lol. I can't wait to get my car back from the recall and install this baby in

This looked so amazing, I just pulled the trigger on this one myself!

My only question is... how do we get the carbon fiber audio/electronic control covers as well? I know our purchase does not include them..

You could buy it from her directly off ebay for 1175 shipped without the paddles, just ask her how much more for the switch covers.

This guide I did may help: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/for...teering-wheel/

Appreciate my steering wheel is the wrong side for you guys, but it works the same on LHD as RHD!

Best of luck with the install, be good to see how it looks in place.

Cheers.

I actually like the paddles, so I was ok paying for them as well I'm sure it'll still look good without the switch covers, but definitely going to see how much she charges for them as well.

Can't wait to get this thing!!
