Default Pics of my new RFE Design alcantara airbag cover

Just received my alcantara airbag cover from Vasiliy (Rfedesign) with RFE Design. I have a 2012+ OEM alcantara wheel and couldn't stand the look of the plastic airbag cover any longer.

Vasiliy made me an alcantara cover which matches the titanium gray stitching in my interior. I was worried that the alcantara might not match perfectly, but it does! Quality is absolutely fantastic as well. This isn't just an overlay that goes over the OEM cover like other vendors might do. This actually replaces the cover for the airbag. Couldn't be happier.

He can also make custom emblems for the airbag cover, but I opted to use the OEM Z06 emblem for a more OEM look. I wanted to post this for those who might be interested in the airbag cover for their 2012+ alcantara wheel and were looking for airbag cover solutions. He also makes custom steering wheels, ebrake handles, shift *****, etc. Hit him up for your interior needs!

Here are some pics:

P.S. I removed the steering wheel to give the alcantara a good cleaning.

Dang. Looks great Frankie. Vasiliy will definitely be getting a good chunk of my money in the future.

That's awesome looking. What's the ballpark for cost and turn around time?

Thank you! Oh, I hear you! His steering wheels look absolutely stunning. I could only imagine the craftsmanship after seeing how good this airbag cover looks. If only it was in my budget, haha. I'd love to have one.

Without the emblem, it's $250 shipped. With emblem (completely custom) , it's $285 shipped. Turnaround time was 15 days from the day it shipped to Florida.

Yup, Vasiliy actually posted a pic of someone who had their airbag deploy with his cover on. Did not interfere.

Sir, thank you for posting this! Appreciate it so much!

I do a tiny cut on a back side of a cover in the same place where OEM airbag cracks when deployed. So it works properly

I have a steering wheel, shift boot (not in picture) and hand brake cover from him. Excellent quality. I need the center done next!

Sir, I think you are a bit wrong, this steering wheel is definitely not my work
