I'd probably go carbon fiber top and bottom, perforated leather sides.

My ring on the top would be white with white stitching since my interior is two tone black/white

From the link you sent, the steering wheel looks very sexy! My car tone is black and I like red. Maybe custom my car with black and red.

I bought a steering wheel from the same seller on ebay when i had my g37 and was really impressed with it. He had it for sale at around $1600 and i offered IIRC $750 and he accepted so this would wind up costing pretty much around the same price as the one you guys posted

here is mine. similar to others I didn't like the way the factory alcantara was wearing so i went with leather. bought from member Mat in Poland. quality of the carbon fiber is amazing the thing is really a work of art. DCT does amazing work as well I've used them for other cars in the past and would use them again.

Thanks for posting. Your steering wheel is outstanding. Bty, For the factory alcantara parts, usually how long does it stay before worn out?

I call dibs! (and I'm local so I can come to SD and do a swap so no downtime on either car)

yes they work correctly with light on button.

the key is you need to use your original contact module from the steering wheel of your W204

I also got mine from Matt, best mod ever since I get to touch & enjoy it everytime I drive. The grip is far superior & thicker than oem.

Cool steering wheel upgrade! Like your carbon fiber interior mod. Who is Matt? Where is the store that I can get something like yours?
