I linked it to ECS tuning on my Amazon wish list! US$145 or AUD 193 at current roe. I have an M Sport. Not sure if you have this?

Not this, I meant the entire 'spoke' in CF...like rollthedice has.

If you want just this trim in CF, you can vinyl wrap it like I did. 30 minute job that'll cost you $10.

But I will want the entire spoke trim in CF.

Not sure on the piece you mean, sorry. I have the M Performance interior with the dry Carbon Fibre which makes it more complicated to match with vinyl wrap (and I never tried to do that either). Got a photo of it? Cheers.

Top pic is my steering before I did the vinyl work. Note the dull grey CF trim at the center of the steering wheel bottom spoke.

Middle pic is after I vinyl wrapped the trim and installed paddle extensions.

Bottom pic is roll_the_dice's steering. That entire bottom spoke in CF is what I want, just with red instead of blue.

I got it. That does look great (love the paddles too). I’m just going with the insert. The dull grey works for me as I have the dry carbon.

$300 is high... but it is cool looking!

HAHA..nah I like the red...I think it looks more "natural" since most are either black or red.

Looking good. My button and light trim have been sitting in my mailbox, can't fit it until I get back home after the vacations.
