Now that I am hopefully the proud new owner of Khoa's carbon paddle shifters, I'd be interested to know what she charges for the matching steering wheel controls as well.
Let me know what you find out please chap.

Cheers,

Peter

She just got back to me.. $300 for steering wheel control covers with the sport button and $200 for those without the sport button.. a bit pricey, but it does finish off the look of the wheel... hmm...

I believe that's due to finding used cores to make. Maybe it will be cheaper if we do a core exchange

SuprFleaJQ

Agreed. That could make sense.

Will you be installing your wheel soon?

Mine should be shipping sometime next week, per the seller. I ordered the 2nd version with the additional bumps near the bottom of the steering wheel.

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

Looks awesome Khoa!

I won't be doing my steering wheel controls for a while!

Just noticed you guys don't have the distance adjustment button for the radar cruise control? See it here on the right unit underneath the ones you have?



Guessing they'd need my original cores.

Are these guys based in Texas? Only my OEM steering wheel is in Houston!

Thinking they could convert mine to look like yours Khoa. Very nice!

That wheel looks even better installed. Truly looks perfect.

Quick question - are the steering wheel switches able to be taken off without the whole wheel coming off? You'd just have to remove the airbag, right? I think I might buy the carbon fiber switch covers later on.

Correct.

Looks so awesome man ! A lot of thicker than the OEM one for sure.

Yeah you can do that or even order some regular ISx50 switches on eBay and have them shipped there. They go for about 70 bucks. The covers are the same. Just use your old buttons

Yeah just unbolt 2 bolts that held the airbag down. You don't even have to unhook the airbag to get to the switches, all you need is to lift up the airbag a little

This looks incredible!! I like your red interior but feel that the red on the switch covers makes it look a bit cheaper.. but, to each his own

But the wheel itself looks amazing. Thank you for taking the plunge on this wheel and sharing it with us! I can't wait to get mine in a week or two.

Thanks, the red is just a wrap. I wanted to see how it ties into my red seats. Planning on covering a few more plastic pieces in red to see. I can always rip the vinyl out so it's no harm there. This is much easier than wait until down the road to remove the airbag and then take out the switches to do later.

SuprFleaJQ

Yep, vinyl wrap is great for this kind of stuff! I don't think i'd really want to pay $200 for the switch covers and was considering using CF vinyl wrap for them instead. I used matte finish CF vinyl wrap for my window pillars and fog light covers. Considering potentially getting some glossy CF vinyl wrap for the switch covers.

Just received my wheel. Looks exactly like the OP's despite ordering what I thought was a different design of the wheel in the top picture. The only difference appears to be the mold of the carbon fiber at the bottom of the wheel between the two versions. I'm not even sure which one I like better to begin with, so I'm not upset that mine looks different from the one I thought I was ordering.

SuprFleaJQ - I'm curious if yours will actually be any different. It looks like they are only offering one style on ebay now (not sure why).

The wheel is definitely thicker than I was expecting. Feels great and quality is top notch. Does anyone know if wearing a ring will scratch the carbon fiber resin at all? My wife occasionally drives my car and she always wears her ring. I've noticed some nicks on her wood trimmed wheel as a result. Otherwise, does the carbon fiber need any sort of maintenance to keep it looking good?
