Yeah that’s hot. Ballpark price?

Like the little display too. How does that work, through Bluetooth or wired? Does it turn red to shift?

Thanks!
Wired into the car, collects data in real-time. The lighting system is incredible!

On default, it's set for shifts. One green, two green, two green and one yellow, two green and two yellow, two green and two yellow and one red, two green and two yellow and two red, then all red, and then all red flashing.
It has other modes so that the lights are in sync with turn signals, hazards, direction of the wheel, speed as opposed to RPM's, etc. It has a lot of other colors for the lights... brightness/sensitivity adjustable, and can be turned off completely.

Price for installation was $300 and 4 hours (they were busy)
Price for the wheel + shipping was over $1,200

Completely customizable. I picked the stitching color, the material, the shape, the airbag in alcantara, the paddle shifters, the stripe at the top, all of it

A LONG time!
The vendor was foreign and e-mails back and forth in completely different time zones in the most basic English possible. It didn't make it any better that the customer service was not that great to begin with...

Shipping was a hassle too during covid. The air bag got held up and torn open by customs as well (I don't blame them, it looked like a bomb with the wires stickin out all over the place)
