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

comments welcome

two tone black alcantara and perforated black leather, red stitching. for the type-s











more detail touches added

 

Damn, Jamie. Every post is better then the last. Love the CF details on the wheel and sills.

 

Very nice wheel and door sills! nice job. loving the red stiching.

 

Game Over!!!!

 

Wow very nice... Is it thicker than it was?
How much and where can I get one?

 

Nice wheel I like the cf trim on it

I hate you...... Nah I'm just playing you are now the "Carbon King" I'm gonna have to go to your house in the middle of the night and infiltrate your garage lol.

 

What are the gauges in the glove compartment for?

 

Show.

I'm just playin' Jaime.

 

Looks awsome man. The CF detail makes such a big difference.

 

Absolute sex.

I love the carbon fiber. Di-Noc I would assume? Just posted a thread about my Di-Noc interior.

 

good job very nice work

 

Very nice Jaime. I am inspired to attempt some of the mods you have done.

 

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!

 

looks good. any plans for replacing seats or any other parts w/ Alcantara?

 

where did you get the alcantara sewn on for you?

 

The red stitching looks great

 

That's it. I quit. How the hell is anyone supposed to keep up with this???

 

thanks for the props dude

thanks! i had to do red, it's a type-s

nooooo!! not yet! im not done playing

thanks vini, yes i had 1/16 padding added. just perfect, feels great. cheaper than OEM, Dallas Custom Steering Wheel did the work. theres a meet next month Vin check out the meets thread, over in the regional section, see if you could drop by

i knew you were gonna hate me you and Steven pushed me over the edge. i had to show you what i had thought of, i even mentioned it in steven's thread (key words "custom"). but your wheel looks great bro

AEM digital gauges volts, tranny temp, oil pressure
yeah you know me Scott, im all show

thanks

yep, thats the shit! awesome stuff.



do it. i hope i inspire you guys! thats awesome.

thanks Steven. i had to do the alcantara so different.

not the seats but i was thinking of doing the headliner and A-pillars in that or suede

Dallas TX
type-s FTW!!!

lol. c'mon bro, your whip is legit

heres two more

 

The pieces on the steering wheel are a nice touch too!

 

is that CF on the steering wheel housing? Are you kidding me?! HAHA that's freaking awesome

 

yeah its the real deal







i know i'm insane

 

You WDP is gorgeous man. Have you run out of ideas for your car yet?

 

Not running out yet, help me though, What else should I do? Without getting stupid.

 

BBK, front & rear custom painted WDP

 

Haha, no kidding right? I've said this a million times about this ride...but this car is 2nd to none, period!
Another for you jptl04!!!

 

Hot, hot, hot!!

Nice work as usual JP!

 

nice, looks amazing

 

Sick Jaime! Your work never ceases to amaze me!

 

Awesome, as always.

 

so SICK! alcantra = WIN!

 

reminds me of a personal steering wheel... so much WIN

 

Honestly, I really don't know. I like JJaber06's idea of the colormatched BBK. They would be a pain to keep clean though.

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

 

woops!! just realized i never replied

that would be sick but a pain to keep clean.

thanks bro thats what im going for one of a kind!





thanks alot Norm

th.ank you sir

yeah, wanted something different.

the feel is awesome i love it. next best thing. thanks

i dont know about the seats but im definitely thinking about doing the headliner and A-pillars and rear pillars in black sued or alcantara

 

damn that carbon fiber on the door sills looks ridiculously nice!

 

The wheel looks great! Love that carbon fiber

 

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

 

As always, ur da man!...beautiful work.

When are you gonna customize some wheels??

 

jaime your car is amazing! just making a suggestion here...wheel spacers. i'm not suggesting hellaflush or poke but a more flush stance will make the car look more aggressive.

 

they are custom one off wheels, i did however go a little too conservative on the offset. didn't want to deal with any rubbing issues

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?

 

Looks great as always.....keep it up.....

BTW: did you remove the parts on the steering wheel before adding the 3m CF??
