DCT MotorSports Quality?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any good or bad feedback about DCTMS?

Seriously considering buying the 9 pieces CF interior kit, CF shifter and CF steering wheel and would like to know the opinions of anyone who has dealt with them previously before I open my wallet.

Thanks in advance.

Bought a custom DRM steering wheel for my bummer, took a little longer then planned but it was really nice....worth the wait I say. Ivan is the man to speak to.

I've bought 5 steering wheels from them...haven't regretted one purchase.

Ivan is great! I have his carbon fiber steering wheel, shift knob, and paddles. Quality is high and price is reasonable.

I tried to order CF mirror covers through them and found their communication was terrible. It was like pulling teeth. Ergo, my ultimate decision to purchase through CKS. It does appear my experience is not the norm

They're excellent and the quality is very good. Click on my build thread link in my signature and I have pictures of their kit on the bottom of the first page and it spills into the second page.

I'm expecting my steering wheel from them next week. I can't wait to see how it'll look!

I do agree that Ivan's communication can be a little better. He's running a one man show so sometimes it's hard to do everything at once. So I just give him the benefit of the doubt and try to call back a few times during the day if I don't get through the first time.

Thumbs up

I absolutely love my CF alcantara steering wheel and shifter knob. Quality was good as was noted by my dealer. Ivan was good to work with-- Responsive and product was delivered pretty much as promised.

Thanks guys, just ordered the parts based on your positive feedback.

Ordered:
- CF Shifter
- 9 Piece CF Interior Trim
- CF Steering Wheel w/ Alcantara, Red Stitching and Red Ring. Should match my red CF start button perfectly.

Now the 6 week wait begins.....

Great! You've got to post photos once it's in!

So you ordered the CF kit in red? Sounds interesting.

OP has a Red CF start button & will have red stitching & red ring on his steering wheel to match. I don't think his whole CF trim & steering wheels will be red CF.. Well, I hope not. Lol

Roswell is right, I have currently have a red CF start button, so decided to get the steering wheel with the red 12 o'clock ring and red stitching, just to add a bit of colour in the interior.

Here is a picture of what I ordered and my current start button.
