Default Awesome mod!!!! Worth every penny!!!!!

Incredible feel! Quality is amazing!!!! Absolute 10/10!

There was a crowd of guys watching at the dealer as my tech installed it!
Service techs, customers, other salesmen, even people from the finance, service & parts offices came to check this out as word spread around the dealership...!!!

Khoa @ Deity Motorsports (forum Supporting Vendor of course!), has you covered from the time you order until the time you receive it!

He goes over EVERY detail with you to confirm your order, and then DOUBLE checks and asks if you might want any changes before actual production!!!

From this , to this....

It certainly spices up the interior.

Mine arrived last week. I ordered one of Khoa's display models that had been previously mounted, but it still looks as if brand new and the discount offered made it too hard to pass up. Still waiting on the paddles to arrive, so won't have it installed until then. Well worth the wait - the quality is amazing!

Looks great! Is there DIY or how hard was it to replace?

Yep, there's no denying it's beautiful and tasteful to boot. I just can't justify that price just for steering wheel looks.

On the other hand, I have no problem dropping similar money on something like the DSC Sport Controller, which actually does improve the performance of the car dramatically.

Looks perfect in every way.

I'm envious.

I get where you are coming from, and it took a really nice discount on a used/display model to get me to bite, but consider this is one part of the car that you constantly touch/interact with. While it might not make the car go faster, it sure does make a noticeable difference in your driving experience. Heck, I'd easily forgo the nav unit and put that money towards this wheel.

Nope, nice try, but there's nothing there to make the car go any faster than w/ the OEM wheel.

As I said, it is gorgeous, and I'd love to have one too.

For some, yes.

Not everyone is as infatuated w/ bling as you are. No one doubts the first-class quality. That's blatantly obvious from the pictures.

Now you need the extended paddles and the horn cover hes working on.

The quality on these wheels are no joke.. Had them on my old vehicle, same manufacturer, actually bought Khoa's old one.. Still have it on.. looks brand new!

I wish I understood the fascination with Carbon Fiber. I really don't like the look AT ALL!
