Anyone heard of Carbontastic? Customizing steering wheel to have LED shift indicator
Today was searching if C63 got steering wheels with little LED screen and shift indicators like the ones found in Ferrari or BMW M performance cars. Then I ran into this:
https://www.realcarbontastic.com/mercedes-benz
So this company provides steering wheel customizations. They also have a product that reads vehicle info via ODB and have them displayed on a small LED which can be mounted on the steering wheel. Although not an OEM solution, still looks great and the functionality is exactly what I am looking for.
However, this company doesn’t have address or phone contact on their website. Their email is gmail which is a free webmail. I am wondering if anyone has heard of this company? Is it real and legit?

I wouldn't necessarily count the company out because of Gmail. Gmail is often more reliable than the host-based emails and has its own special functionalities.

They’ve done a wheel for another Black Series owner on here “Wheelrz95”. His Instagram handle is the same and he posted pictures of it in operation. I tried to paste the link to the post, but for some reason it’s not displaying!
Being the computer on the steering wheel is plugged in via OBD, wouldn’t there be issues with refresh rates? Instead canbus which is instantious.
