Naw, no CF trim, and havent decided if I want to do that yet. I kinda feel like I could do the steering wheel and paddles CF and not the other parts and it look fine as opposed to vice versa. As far as spending the money on these products, I felt it was better spent for a sick *** steering wheel than the trim, but in a perfect world, I might deck it all out in CF.

Ok, screw you obsidian..you happy now, I bought the CF interior set. God, I hate modding, and now all I could think about was matching up the wheel with the interior. Thanks for putting that thought into my head!!!!

Damn I can't get over that nice stiching. Looks great. Get ready to have a twin in about 5 months burning the highways of San Diego. Of course yours is modded to the T, but you can look over and remember the good ol stock days...

I love seeing other C63s....however, so far I'm the only modded one (besides my friend who totaled his last year on the 5 freeway) Ive seen driving around down here in SD. Even stock our cars look beastly. At some point I really have to stop modding. Holy geebus.

I found this which seems like a good price. Not carbon fibre though and not as nice as Pertplus.

Sometimes it takes another person pointing out the obvious!

Pertplus, your steering wheel is amazing!! I love your sig too: "No Mom, my car is completely stock." ... I got to tell that to my mom too everytime she sees my car... LOL!

Thanks Everyone!
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I was very happy with how Pertplus's wheel turned out. The paddles complete it I think. I can;t wait to see it installed.
A few points:

MAcarbon
A few points:
- The wheel is suede not alcantara. Yes, Pert should avoid eating french fries before driving. But the suede wears well and is so much better feeling than alcantara.
- We pay special attention to the weave and how it plays across the wheel itself and in combination with the rest of the parts in the interior. The W204 is fairly easy. An Audi R8 in contrast, has things going in every direction due to their stock carbon parts. Notice the UP paddle does not match the rest of the wheel - but "looks" right.
- MAcarbon has two workshops where we make our parts. One is in Liege, Belgium and the other in Montreal Canada. Our "headquarters" is in Belmont, California near San Francisco where we do sales, marketing, inventory, QA etc. Both workshops are part of MAcarbon. So our parts are made "In House". We just have a big house! We don't just slap our name on things made by others in cheap labor locations.
- Pricing depends on the wheel configuration. You can play with our online configurator here: http://www.macarbon.com/wheel_config...M0c0,M0c2,M1c6
