Default Carbon Fiber steering wheel

Has anyone seen this? I paid about $1,200 for my wheel when I was 1 of 3 in the world. So, this is about right for a new car.

Beyond a little bit of bragging rights, is this thing really worth $1400?

That company posted on here looking for cars to install that on back in July. I dont like how the part you put your hand on is carbon fiber. Id prefer the leather so it wont be slippery. That wheel also has blue stitching. Our cars have either gray or red stitching so it wont match.

I've considered the all leather one. I like the perforated leather. But that price tag...

I think a nice intake/exhaust setup would be much better
