Default Custom Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel + Goodies!!!

I just got notice that my custom steering wheel is on its way to me! Here are some photos of the completed wheel with some extra goodies! I asked for circuit red leather with black stitching, black carbon (y trim, steering buttons, paddle shifters with red (+,-), and carbon shifter. Will update with new steering wheel installed once iI receive it ASAP!!! I love this guys work, he did my CF mirrors (replacement kind not cheap overlay with 3M tape) and the work was flawless, so I pulled the trigger on this one and this looks amazing!!! Look for him on IG at Elvin_6188, I've seen other steering wheels he's done in person and the quality is top notch. It's a tad more pricey than some other places that sell these steering wheels, but he uses OEM Lexus parts so thats why the quality is so high and why I chose to go with him. Also, no one else offers the carbon paddle shifters and full carbon shift **** and I personally think they are bad freaking ***!!!

Default Sweet!

Elvin Wong right?
Saw his stuff on the FB RCF/GSF Society and he sure as hell makes great gear! I sent him all my specs via email too. I'm anxious to see n hear if that Circuit Red truly matches up w the interior? Read it may be a tad lighter but very close. Like the CF Paddle touch. That stuff will look stunning and I look forward to seeing pics of it all installed!!
Congrats M !

Thanks! And yeah he said the leather should be a 90% match. The quality of his work is top notch, I highly recommend him. I got a few more surprises coming this coming week! Can't wait to reveal it!

I totally agree on his work!

Forgive my bluntness, but exactly what is it you do for a living M? Your taste for the extreme Carbon Fiber equals what I once had on my line of high end Ducati's! Stunning!

I'm in the real estate business. I'm 29 year old college drop out. I manage a few residential homes, as well as a few transitional sober living homes, out in Orange County. Trust me, i'm not super rich, i'm just able to do research and get lucky enough with good deals!

Here are some pics i took from today! You can also check out my instagram at mjn_88
I paid $400 for the replacement mirrors, these mirrors aren't the 3M taped mirrors, they replace the original housing. You cannot buy the carbon paddles or carbon shift **** alone. Elvin only sells them as a package with the carbon steering wheel. The quality of the parts he makes are incredible though! He makes the best carbon steering wheels i've ever seen IMO. Check out his work on his IG

Looking good, I really like those mirrors. Much better than taped on covers. I got in touch with him today to price a few items. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great. I’m in hunt bch so Oc as well. I’d love my girl to see your car in person so she can decide on the mirrors. She keeps going back and forth. Any chance of buying you lunch at the beach one day?

Im not sure if it's tinted vinyl or window tint film. I got it done at Templar wraps. I think it might be window tint film because of the thickness.

Hahah you don't gotta buy me lunch but I will be more than glad to show you the mirrors. I would highly recommend them over the cheap 3M taped ones on ebay but it all depends on your budget. These mirrors cost $400 shipped by Elvin. His carbon work is excellent. Message me on IG it's mjn_88
