>>Red CF Steering Wheel by CF Element<<
 

FINISHED PICS ON PAGE 3!!!!!!

Here's a wheel I just started this afternoon. Its actually Carbon fiber/Red Kevlar.
I just started it, and when resin is added to the cloth it turns a darker shade of red. Its pretty nice stuff, very thin but kinda tough to work with compared to all cf fabric...I am doing the same with this as my other wheels i have done. Flattened the bottom of the wheel and stitching the sides back up with leather. Using a red stitch on this one though to accent the red kevlar.
This one doesnt have a home yet and when its done it will be up for sale. I may even do some kind of package deal with some other interior parts to go as a set.
Opinions welcome of course.

More pics coming as i move along with the process... Stay tuned.

deff has potential...

That should look really good, but like someone mentioned imagine if their was an orange available that was similar to the amber of the car. I mean if you have the orange seats, and then this steering wheel w/ the orange touches, just wow. Does this type of color exist???

very nice pm me the price

Yes, I have an orange...here's a pic I did a while ago...not sure how it compares to the car color tho...

pm for the price of the red steering wheel

Now I see. Looks good.

Anyone interested in this or anything else please PM me.

I there a noticeable seam on the back side of the carbon fiber? can you take a pic to see what you would see from outside of the car.

There will be a seam on the backside just like all the other wheels I do...there has to be. What i do though is do some airbrushing over the seam to help blend it so it looks pretty nice. I'll take pics of both sides once it totally done and cleared. Couple more days.

Why not do the seam below where the sticking of the leather used to be?

This way you do not see anything from the outside.

Because then you would see it when in the car. Backside u don't see it at all and maybe a little from outside the car.

Can you pm me the price

my wheel :) soaked....

I think it looks good and will go with most Zs (maybe not yellow or blue). A shift knob to match will help a lot.

Looks great! Do you guys have any pictures of some carbon done with blue kevlar?

Here's the blue...The blue is kinda dark once the resin is applied. Its very subtle but in the sun you can really see it. I have the center blade of my wing done in it. I'll snap a pic of it tonight....here's a strut bar cover done in it.

This red wheel will be totally done and stitched back up probably Monday or Tuesday. I may try to get my hands on a couple other interior parts and make it a whole kit to sell...unless someone who picks this one up wants to get their interior to match, maybe the console/window switch pieces....also, I have a plain black cf wheel that is done and ready to ship. Its up for sale in the classifieds.

Pretty much finished pics...just needs clearcoat and leather ...
