Anyone change there steering wheel yet ?

[Justpassedu]

Can I see ? I have The stock and Alcantara at the moment but been thinking of maybe adding a Carbon Steering wheel . I do love the quick change setups but don’t know if I want to loose my airbag for one . The zestek looks amazing . So maybe a carbon wheel I see in the future .

I put on the Revesol wheel and it’s perfect. IMO the carbon fiber wheels look really tacky and cheap. I’d never be willing to drive without the airbag.

Anyone find a matte carbon fiber trim piece that goes around the steering wheel controls?

Maybe I’m just too old-school, but carbon fiber in the interior looks about as classy as showing up to a black-tie event in sweatpants. Sure, it’s the real deal, but if I wanted something that screamed “try-hard,” I’d just wear neon leg warmers! I’d be way more impressed if that carbon fiber was hanging out in the engine, doing the heavy lifting—literally—where weight reduction actually matters, like a gym for your car rather than a fashion show!

Scratched piano black plastic looks much better, though, right?

(Never mind that it's plastic, not a legitimate paint clearcoat, making it the equivalent of fake CF, lol.)

Believe me, there's a VIP lounge in hell reserved for those decision-makers who thought slapping on glossy plastic was a good idea—clearly, they missed the memo about 'no shiny surfaces in purgatory'!

As an FYI the FL5 steering wheel trim is a direct replacement and not gloss black.

Old-school , Carbon was huge back in the old days. I think Carbon is awesome for weight reduction and looks. Allot of high end vehicles use tons of carbon all over. I think it's just personal preference . I only wish my entire type s was carbon.

This looks great, is it any thicker than OEM? can you get one with heated steering wheel function?

No heated steering wheel option. I live in the northeast and with a garage, never really found it necessary. Definitely thicker than the stock one and much less slippery material than the stock leather.

I put the red stitch Canadian heated wheel on my car and sold the stock wheel to a member here.
