The t.v. or tablets, looks nice. What's the deal with them? Brand? Are they removable? Is it something you had to take to a shop to get working or a YouTube video etc?? Interested for my kids

These are cool
I read you mentioned that they last for 15 days off 1 charge. Is there a way to turn it off in the day time or they're on around he clock until it dies???

Make sure you disconnect the battery for at least 5 minutes before removing the airbag. Reinstall in reverse order and make sure the mark on the shaft /wheel you made before line up.

That wood or wood look is smooth.
Did you have to get a new steering or it was an add-on?

You obviously know that you can unlock your doors by touching the handle (keyless entry)...but did you know you can lock them as well using the keyless method?

Peace
This color is everything
I tried to contact this dude I know with dealer's license when I saw it on auction site. That black gives it a oomph too
Is that plastidip??

This is a great look
I know you said "slick mod" was seller but what did you type in ebay's search engine to get these under results??

Any thoughts?
The standard seats are sealed. Only if you have the luxury package with semi aniline leather then it would absorb a leather conditioner. I swapped out my standard seats for the lux seats and it's noticeably softer and has more adjustments. The standard seats have a much harder feel to them.

That's shipped price? So you ship him your OEM shift ****, then he work on it then ship back. How long is the lead time? And what do you do while your shift **** is away?
I already got DCTMS shift **** and steering wheel. Wish I knew about Elvin before. His work is excellent!

This guy does it all, and it doesn't require me shipping mine to him. $250 total, with shipping. I ordered 5/6 after IM'ing back and forth with him a bunch of times, dude will show pic examples and color combos, was great to work with. After a week he had it completed and sent me pics, then shipped it. I got it yesterday 5/20. Old shifter is just in my desk drawer now, lol.

Wow that's not bad at all. Considering he's shipping from all the way across in the world in Singapore to US, that's not bad. Wonder how much he charges for steering wheel.
DCTMS took forever to ship my stuff (over 8 weeks!). Quality I'd give it 8/10. Elvin's stuff is definitely 10/10, worth the extra costs IMO.

i think depending on options it started between 900-1100. i looked into it on IG and pm'd him back and forth but then i backed out because i didnt think it would look good on my car but i might change my mind in the future since i want extended/taller paddle shifters so might as well do the whole shebang while im at it lol

I had him quote it, would have been $950 for me, with the heated steering wheel part as well. Dude is great and went the exctra mile. He was also going to give me a deal if I got steering wheel and paddle shifters together.

See above, that is close to what he told me, but was going to give me a deal if I got both.

No doubt! Not even sure what thread he was mentioned in here, but boy did I scroll his page for a long time. Almost bought the fuel door and the paddle shifters, and I REALLY want the steering wheel. And the side skirts, and the door panels, and the center console, LOL
