Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel - Pics Needed

Did a few searches, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone have pics of their 3G TL with the factory carbon fiber steering wheel?

Thanks,
Jesse

I wanted to know too. The pictures you find are so small you can't tell what is different or where the carbon fiber is.

because its $400 for something that offers nothing but looks, and imo, ruins steering/grip feel.

Actually, it does not ruin the steering grip. It's definitely better than the stock leather feel because it doesn't make your hand feel all sweaty...and u gotta love the luxury feel of it..It also goes great with my carbon fiber interior

Here you go. Wanted to do this for a long time. I really like it. Hey I spent at least $4k on cosmetic mods that do nothing and are good for nothing but looks, why stop now?

I was partial to the CF one for a long time because it matched the interior. But lately.....I am really starting to like the A-Spec one. It has grown on me. I bet it is mostly because my car is all A-Spec's out and that is the only thing missing now.

Looks like the steering wheel is flexing due to the silver archs by 3 and 9

I like the A-spec steering too and its the only thing missing for my aspec package aswell...but for the price i wish it was a little more thicker. Is there a possibillity to wrap the stock one professionaly to make it much thicker.

Damn That looks like a eBay steering wheel. Or is it just the picture quality, No disrespect BlkAspec. Going just from the pics i would go for the Carbon Fiber. It can also be that i don't like the blue stitching.

I wish the 2007-2008 steering wheels had some more carbon fiber on the bottom of the wheel, like the 2006's. That's what has kept me from purchasing one. For almost $400, you're getting a slice of carbon fiber along the top of the steering wheel for the 2007-2008's.

I agree steven

I think the 06 and earlier CF steering wheel looks nicer with the top and bottom CF. I dont know why they couldnt have kept it that way with the 07 and up.
