My new black series carbon steering wheel
I just finished this steering wheel.

It is same size and shape with clk63 black series steering wheel but I added carbon. I made this with stock sl55 amg steering wheel.

I will install it on my sl55 this weekend.

I really really like it. I already made and installed similar steering wheel on my slk55 also but I more like this one.

Hope you guys like it too.

Looks really good. Did you do the carbon fiber overlaying yourself?

Yes I did it myself.

I used stock sl55 steering wheel.

I needed to cut steering wheel little bit and reshape.

Carbon part it took almost 1 week.

Can you make me one
Hi,

Really like that steering wheel. I have an SL55. Do make those for other people? If so, I would like to buy one.

Thanks, sosawh@aol.com
