Considering this mod! Love it!

Yellow Stripe FTW. All race cars are set up with it.

Wheel looks great. I think the key to keeping the material clean in my Comp Package E46 was whipping my hands on my pants EVERY TIME I drove my car. Oils are the enemy...

Great looking wheel! I like when we color match the center marker to the color of the car or the stitching personally, but yellow is the default race color

usually alcantera will hold up better over time than suede will. I had a suede wheel in one of my race cars, it would leave my hands a little black when i was done driving if i wasnt wearing gloves with it (like i should have been)

We have done custom work on oem wheels with thicker padding, bigger grip points, custom stitching etc etc. It's always been made per order for our customers, and to their spec.

not trying to be a hater, but alcantara doesn't seem like a good idea for a steering wheel. otherwise, it's great.

It helps when you're sweating, also it gives you more grip. The downside is, it wears very quickly (looks ugly) and I can't imagine how dirty the actual thing is because you can't really clean it like a leather steering wheel.

I just got my same wheel put in. I am in LOVE. Really suprised how much I am enjoying it. It makes me feel like I'm in a GT3 or another race car!

Highly Recommend!

I would post pics but they would be identical to those already posted.
