Wanted to switch up my wheel, and wanted carbon fiber, but could find better things to spend $1k on. Never messed with a steering wheel before so I didn't really know what to expect going into this project but I was able to pick up an oem sport wheel pretty cheap and went to town on it. LOVE it so far, the extra thickness is amazing! And the carbon is some nice eye candy. Ill let the pictures do the explaining. Running my stock trim at the moment but have a custom center piece in the works. Also wrapped all my wood grain in suede

wanted to do some custom padded diamond stitched wrap but the padding made it impossible to wrap cleanly around the trim so i only ended up with a shift boot :/
