hey man
thanks for posting pics.
yea, you definitely have a point, i just love the way it looks
those are very nice, i've seen those as well as others, most of which are pictured in this thread.

but i've never seen the one below actually installed. i think its awesome-looking, by itself.
but with the airbag being black leather, i'm just not sure if it would look good when actually installed.

I can't get over how awesome the flat-bottom wheel is. Freaking awesome! And I love how deep the "9 and 3" grips are. Sweeeeeeet!

Yet again, still looking Apparently there have been 2 or 3 sold, of the full carbon fiber steering wheel.

Is it ANYONE on this forum? Or do you know of anyone with it?

The search for the ever-elusive full carbon fiber steering wheel, INSTALLED!

I came across this thread since I was also looking for a pic of this wheel installed, but apparently nobody has one. So....after little chop chop in Photoshop, this is about as close as you're going to get to seeing one installed without actually buying it.

NICE! Thanks for the rendering. Looks way better than I expected. Unfortunately, I ended up installing a custom-made flat-bottom wheel with silver carbon fiber on the top. After driving with that, I can't imagine getting full carbon fiber all the way around because of how slippery it would get (I live in Miami )

^^ That's my favorite style. I love it. I very much prefer the darker cf look over the color-matched white cf. I would find that lighter coloring too distracting (personally).

I'd Love that flat bottom with Suede instead of CF on the top portion
Who makes the full suede one?

Thanks.

Do you mean the top just being the same black rubber as the bottom? That's what I went with.
