Before and After (collection of mods)
Not an exact carbon match but it's far enough away from the dash to work for me. I'm looking into ordering a leather airbag with stitching if it's doable.
I got a chance to take some pictures of the mods I recentlty put on the wagon. What a difference a wheel makes!

Changed to Black Chrome exhaust tips. License plate frame color-keyed.
Carbon steering wheel trim and shift paddles. I'm finding that the green tape I put on the + side really helps when turning corners, etc. on surface streets. When the wheel is turning I know just what paddle to pull. I thought I might remove both tape marks, but I think they're here to stay.

I totally agree. I was looking at this and thinking he labeled the pictures wrong of which was the after. The new wheels remind me of the standard wheel these cars come with.

Looks amazing! Did you install the carbon shift paddles yourself? I have some and I'm looking for some installation instructions.

Here are my latest carbon upgrades: front grill and left/right canards. They blend perfectly with the factory carbon lip. It all pulls together aesthetically.

I had HRE figure it out to retain the OEM PS4 tires. I assume it would be the same numbers as the factory wheels. 20"

Can you elaborate on the carbon grill install? I got a cryptic pm when I asked for instructions, makes me think you’ve got to destroy the factory part to get it done.
It looks great on your car.

I can't myself but TAG Motorsports in Vista, CA. did the install. I think they pulled the main black grill that it sits in to properly swap the pieces. I have the old grill and while I didn't look too hard at clip points, etc. it looked to be in perfect shape. One of the canards had a cracked/broken tab but it is an inexpensive piece and the they'd just sit on a shelf taking up space so I through them out.

The widths on the HRE's could be the same as the factory wheel widths or they could be about a half inch wider & still be used on the factory tires. Telling by how perfectly flush your HRE wheels are they definitely have more aggressive (lower) offsets that the factory wheels. The stance is spot on.
