LOL ... thanks for doing a random search. I'm sure everyone can do that. None of those line up the OP's pricing.

I am not the OP but I gave you my source and the companies that did both my C7 steering wheel and my C8 steering wheel.

Can I have it too? Thank you.

Pay Per Friend? We know you don't like plastic wrap.

Alibaba --- this is somewhat similar to Amazon (you may need to install the Alibaba application on your device). You do a search for C8 steering (or whatever you want) and go from there. You don't need to buy from the same vendor as I did. But in any case make sure that what you are getting is what they are selling. The vendors I delt with are in China and there could be translation issues. So if you are communicating with them, via the Alibaba application, make sure you are clear on what you want and that they are clear on what they are selling or building for you.

I found the source where Custom Carbon Fibre steering wheels are coming from (that various NA dealers are selling), and ordered one for myself. I customized it exactly how I wanted it. I paid $1094 Canadian ALL IN, delivered.

Now I just have to wait until April to install it ;(

Black Carbon Fiber
9 LED RPM display
Black perforated leather
Orange Stitching
Orange Carbon inlays
Heated
Black Carbon Fibre Paddle shifters with Orange +/- Inlays

I LOVE the transformation. Just installed today ! The wheel is amazing

Heated, LED RPM gauge top center (crazy awesome cool looking. Can control the levels, colours, etc), orange Carbon inserts, orange stitching . Paddle shifters are amazing with orange + / - !

It’s beefier (if that’s a thing) which is awesome !

2 hour install (while on Zoom calls, lol)

Video attached of the led function. Just haven’t gotten around to customizing the colors yes (usb stick)

 

[Matt_Orleans]

@vacek Here is mine. Black and Blue reflective carbon fiber, heated, smooth leather, blue stitching, matching CF button surround, blue center band and matching CF paddles.

 

[DynamicCaps]

@Matt_Orleans That looks awesome ! Glad you got it done. Wasnt too bad, right?

The CF around the controls is a nice touch too !

 

[Matt_Orleans]

I didn't even watch the videos while doing it. (I had watched them a few months back) I needed help to hold the steering to remove the center bolt and I got help from my neighbor to move the heat element clip from the OEM steering to the new one.
