Ok so sections of the steering wheel, otherwise covered in leather, are replaced by CF. Do you do increase the thickness of the steering wheel? I ask because the G37's steering wheel feels narrower when compared to my old 350Z.

We increase the thickness of the grip on the none flat bottom version. Giving you a more BMW type grip/thickness on the sides.

I hate how thin the wheel is on the G, but I would really need to see a pic of this installed in a car before spending close to 1k.

ooh this is interesting. I would love to see pics of the G37 version before buying. Is it difficult to remove the stock steering wheel?

Just to be sure I am reading correctly, buying entails the customer to send the OEM steering wheel to your company after installation of the new CF wheel right?

How hard is installing this steering wheel, is it a DIY?

These items are not everyday items. If you factor in the cost of material and labor and the logistics of getting everything together, while maintaining A+ quality of work, it is going to cost you money.

IvoryGT, any idea as to when we'll see some pics? Also, I'm not a big fan of CF for the interior. If I just want the thicker steering wheel without CF, is that an option. Do you have any pricing?
