Default Ultimate high quality custom carbon steering wheel

So I was the 1st member on the board to take the plunge and ordered the eBay carbon steering wheel a couple of months ago. Quality is expeptional and very oem like, as many other fellow F owners bought theirs since then and can confirm. Less than a month of having the steering wheel, I wanted to change up and get a fully custom one with red leather to go with my red interior theme. The seller warned that they can not match 100 percent with red color but I was okay with that. Here it is 3 weeks later. Super fast turn around and I finally know where it is made from. It is packed with Japanese news paper and shipped out of Tokyo. So it is safe to assumed that it is made from there; big bonus for those that are looking for quality JDM made products. The quality in the detail speaks for itself too. Let me know what do you guys think.

Here is my new custom red leather, I added a red ring on the top carbon plus the steering wheel button covers in carbon also. Quality is just amazing. Color of the leather is slightly brighter but I think it will ages and darken slightly. Especially with all the dirt and greese from our hands. My shift **** darken quite a bit after just 2 months.


Shipped and packed from Japan!!!


Looks like the seller posted really high quality pictures of my red steering wheel on eBay now. No way my iphone can take pics like these

Haha that was a few weeks ago. It's actually in the 80s for the last couple of days here in Sunny Socal. I love it! We do pay higher cost of living for the weather though

Pimpalicious!!!

If I didn't just blow my monthly mod $$ allowance on some new Michelins, I would totally order this.

Next month it is!

Mk4sup, are those factory red IS-F seats?

I'm thinking about redoing my seats to all red but haven't found a real good auto upholstery shop yet..

Those red seats are from a 2012 ISF. I got the LSD carrier from it too 😁
The carbon steering wheel will be so worth it. I smile big whenever I step inside my car

email the seller, I'm sure they can make any combination you can think of. To be honest though, silver carbon is a bit much on the steering wheel. Have seen enough white/carbon steering wheel in person and it's a bit much for me for some reason. Some on here also think so.
