trying to reinvent the wheel (Type-S)
ok guys i've been wanting to upgrade my steering wheel on my type-s. i like the OEM type-s wheel but i felt it was the same thing except for the CF trim on the top portion. not going that route i decided to go the custom route. i also added my own touches to the side button panels. i got the wheel in yesterday and installed it. snapped some pics for you guys, here you go

Jaime-that's awesome. I've seen pictures of Lamborghini's with Alcantara-they look so sharp. Plus the red stitching and the extra Carbon Fiber details are outstanding!

Do you like the seats? Maybe you could do two-tone seat covers to match the steering wheel. Perforated black with red stitching and then black alcantara as well.
Call me crazy, but I've always wanted my trip computer box to be a LCD like you would find on the upper end cars. The pixilated numbers and words look 1990-ish

Damn, I always wanted to re-wrap my steering wheel. It looks great, I love alcantara

thanks, i had some serious thought about getting some project kicks. it wold look better with spacers, as stated earlier, i went to conservative when ordering the set. what MM would you suggest. in the rear i think i could go 10, front maybe 5? what do you think?
