Smile New Steering Wheel Came In

After finding out that Elvin on insta was basically a middleman, I found a vendor on aliexpress and ordered directly from them.

Painless (mostly) ordering process. We wound up communicating over WhatsApp.

He gave me control over every option and double-verified before beginning the manufacturing process. Total time including shipping to Texas was just about 2.5 weeks.

Price was just at 1,000 including shipping for the full treatment.




I'm super happy with the results. The orange is a pretty decent match for the Molten Pearl exterior.

I won't have time to install for another couple of weeks, but I'll update with some before/after photos!

Nicee! I bought the carbon fiber wheel from elvin, just the outer part (no carbon buttons, paddles, or leather airbag) for around $750 so i think you got a really good deal!

The extra wrap on top of the original airbag cover will slow down airbag inflation by a couple of milliseconds. So if you are travelling fast, don’t expect head contact at the most optimal point nor at the intended contact velocity.
