Answered one part of my question: mine is the glossy version CF and there is a matte version too
Alcanrara can be done. Horn surround/bezel can be done in different carbon colors. If you are talking about the airbag cover, yes I'll be coming out with the leather cover with matching stitching shortly

I broke a brand new Snapon and had to use a Mac Torx to finish the job but once you remove the bolt everything else is gravy. Well worth the trouble!
Mike, I'll take care of the interior plastic and dash carbon for you shortly. Matching gloss 😁

Would love to see any examples or ideas on the alcantara and leather mix with the carbon. Also the options for the center surround. I would also choose to make the center mark of the wheel and shift paddle markers silver to match the accent color in my all black interior. Can provide picks if that helps.

Thumbs up on the airbag cover too!! Dress up the plastic looking piece would make these great looking products even better! In my case it may even look good in alcantara with black or possible silver/charcoal stitching like in my interior which is a rare option based on the production numbers.

One thing I didn't notice until today was having the Gloss Carbon Fiber wheel is how much it ties in with the Gloss Carbon Fiber roof and hood stinger!!! It matches perfectly.

I'm so glad I'm getting more and more people onboard with my love for gloss carbon.

Time to get you a set of my wheels too!

Admittedly I haven't read all 4 pages (sorry if it's explained already), but please explain one thing: how can you adjust the thickness and softness of the wheel? Do you compare it to the original wheel, or some other measurement?

"Also level of firm or softness plus thickness of the wheel can be adjusted too."

Thickness is measured vs stock wheel. Firmness on the leather is all depending on the bottom padding

Really thought I wanted the gloss carbon fiber, but the matte finish is really growing on me. Leaning towards matte finish w/ red stripe, gray stitching and rev match paddles. No logo at bottom. Wouldn't happen to have one in Stock??

I have the Gloss wheel and I can say you can't go wrong either way. The GLOSS looks freakin amazing in the sunlight and matches the OUTSIDE Carbon Fiber I have and I think it TYES the OUTSIDE Carbon to the INSIDE. However, the MATTE will look absolutely amazing with the inside Carbon Fiber package. I LOVE mine and would equally LOVE the MATTE.
