To be honest, I am not a big fan of the CF work in interior. I actually think the washy aluminum compliments the car better.

I appreciate the feedback. What about do you not like?

How much was the cf..?
CF work was roughly $120 but I had another item wrapped, so he hooked me up with better pricing. They usually charge more for the matte CF finish.

They're in Dallas, TX. CF Element is in NJ I believe.

Maybe later in the future. As of now, I'd rather spend that $$ on other mods.

Oh, wow. That looks great! I'm going to have to steal that idea. I've always wanted to do something with the wheel (add padding, flat-bottom, etc.)

And they're in Dallas, too, so not too far from here. Did you just send them your old wheel, or was it a core swap? I've been looking for a used set on eBay and at local junkyards that has the Tech package buttons, to no avail.

Hey Mike, I just sent them a spare wheel I had. Took them about a week to finish the work. Unfortunately, these guys do not do flat bottoms to their wheel, so opted to stay w/ the OEM in shape. But the extra padding and the alcantra feel so good in the hands. I absolutely the love the change. Made the whole driving experience a lot more pleansant!

Btw now I have a spare wheel now. It's literally brand new. I just had it replaced under warranty due to the chipping issues. They replaced it with a wheel w/ the revised bezel which is a satin black finish that does not rub off like the older ones. I might part w/ it for the price is right. LMK if you would be interested.

I think I might have to order one of your shift boots to compliment the new look.
