Love the mirrors, but I am not feeling the wheel..

Looks weird.. just me I guess.

Does it feel different? How's it feel after sitting in the sun?

+1 shift knob, brake lever and ok on the mirrors.
-1 on the steering wheel imo

the wheel feels great in live, so smooth and make the wheel a little thicker. the stock wheel isnt thick enought. ummm....under the sun for a while, it turns warm...but its not hot as stock wheel does.

I always thought CF mirrors would look good...but never seen them...must go well with your wheels...

how did you install the handbrake and the steering wheel trims?

mirrors look good. very subtle.
shiftknob & handbrake look great.
never thought of doing a steering wheel...

how about doing the moustache in CF?

Are the mirror pieces direct replacements or overlays?

The steering switches would have looked nice covered in carbon fiber.

thanks for all commends, i like carbon fiber a lot,:hawt lol.... i am also getting the e-brake lever leather boot with red stich to match the shift boot as well. the streering wheel is just the cover, it fits well, its snap on, very tight.

thats little secret. i promised not to tell. but trust me thats very easy.:chuckle

i got the cover only, they have replacement cover but with LED turning lights which i dont like. also they have the whole carbon fiber side mirroe unit in M3 style with auto dim, heated, powered which is too much.:blush

I really like the carbon fibre but as mentioned, the steering wheel looks odd. It looks really bulky, it could also look odd because flash tends to do that to things.

^^^ ebay has them, but they are way too much, no no. i got them from taiwan, they made all knid of fancy stuff. but i really like the M3 style mirror for our car, it looks just right.

Mirrors look great. I really like the handbrake look. The stock plastic handbrake cover is so cheap.
