They are rare (7) and they do exist. Another member just picked one up this week. Part of my deal with the dealership required them to replace 2 CF peices. We found out that all parts come in a kit at the tune of $12K made to order by AMG. Luckily there was a car in AZ that had most of the CF parts replaced with an insurance claim. The two parts I needed were not used. The door that hides the pocket and lighter has the AMG logo inlaid in gold under the clear coat.

Nice steering wheel. The center part with the horn and controls for the radio and stuff is not present in the photo. Do you use the old one or does it come with a new one?

I can see how this carbon fiber stuff gets addicting. I think maybe that's why it's a controlled substance.

The cotrol pads and airbag are not inculded you need to move these over from your OEM wheel.

BTW i think you need the CF diffuser www.eurorev.com Talk to Vincent tell him you want the diffuser he sold me. The price is very reasonable!

More pics later...
I know that our cars can fly, but do they really need "angel wings" attached to the steering wheel...?

Sandoval, did you get any discount on the steering wheel? I heard from a member here that you may be able to get discount if you call... Either way, please post pics of all leather steering wheel.... I'm thinking of getting the exact same thing. Please post quality, feeling and such, will ya?

Deaded, should we start a group buy? I know that Performance Products currently has 15% discount (damn, I missed the 20% discount ).... may be we could get more discount if we could have a group buy.

Neal, would certainly love to buy it from you... but 1) you said you didn't carry all leather one; and 2) Not sure whether you could match 15% or more discount Performance Products usually has.

If you said yes to both, let us know.... at least you have 2 potential buyers

I do like the CF in your car sandoval, it is one of a kind
phatmitzu, I don't know if I would go so far as "carbon *****"
but could be carbon **** now, I see CF air box, CF enging cover, CF hood then be one big CF *****.
