LOVE my new CF steering wheel by DCTMS
Just got my new CF steering wheel and shifter. Wow, what a difference they have made to the interior. Perfect fit all around and silky smooth.

Thank you Ivan at DCT Motor Sports for the great product and awesome customer service. While I am at it, thank you Don Nguyen, once again, for the beautiful vinyl wrap.

I am one happy camper!

Wow, very nice... all you need is the CF dash kit to match.

looks great! i think it would look better with a black interior but I'd def go for carbon interior trim to help set it off!

Very nice but I am not a fan of the red stripe, is there a purpose for the stripe or is it just for show?

No purpose, strictly for show. Breaks the monotony of an otherwise boring interior. I agree that on any other car it would probably not look right.

Indeed I was! I am embarrassed that the camera picked that up. :-(

I am always impressed at how observant everyone is in these forums!

Looks great, especially the steering wheel. Fabric of the shifter is a little too distorted for my taste.

There actually is a purpose for the stripe. It marks the top of the steering wheel, which is helpful for racing. It allows to glimpse the position of the wheel without having to look all the way down.

Looks nice! Yes, Ivan is the man! He was able to let me exchange my worn P30 steering wheel for a brand new OEM one plus cash. A very good deal IMO.

Haven't tried it on the track yet, but for every day driving, the grip is great. Much better feel than the OEM

The pictures really don't do it justice. If anyone in SoCal wants to see it up close, shoot me a PM, I'd be happy to show it. Check with Ivan at DCT, he can probably make it without the stripe
