What's up guys, just installed my CF wheel I got from CF Element. Very pleased with his work!! Followed MrandMrs diy
DIY: Steering Wheel Removal
The only problem I had was trying not to strip the torx heads. I did use an impact to break them loose. One other thing is I tightened the horn plate or whatever you call it too tight the first time and my horn did not work. Back to step one....then I loosened up the two screws holding the horn bracket a little bit(maybe 1/2 turn on each). Put everything back together, started her up and boom, no unwanted lights coming on and the horn now works!!

At first I went with suede but Tony sent me a few emails with different material. Per my taste, I liked the way perforated looked out of all the pics he sent

Thanks, I'm very happy with it. I'm going to sent him all my interior pieces once I figure out how to take them all off.

I really like it but (in my opinion) the thumb rests are too big. They look slightly like tumors

When I first saw it I thought the same. After driving around with it installed, the thumb grips feel really good. If u were thinking of getting one, I'm sure he could make one with smaller thumb grips.

I'm considering it for further down the line. Since he's actually in NJ I wonder if he'd mind if I came down to see how it's done. I find it really interesting.
