Where did you get steering wheel wrapping? And was it difficult to fit?

It was actually pretty easy. Took about 3 hrs to complete.

They also have leather and suede options and can pretty much customize anything. Just email Jemma and tell them jemma@cqouyue.com

Installing a mewant cover is easy if you remove the wheel and strip the buttons. Then you can do as I did, stitching it while sitting in my living room recliner.

Although the video says he has no lighting package I did notice that he has an illuminated a/c radio trim.. so either he has the cup holder light or the oem footwell lights to tap into. I have none of those

I installed the B-pillar lights from AliExpress today as in the video. Before installing, I shortened the included cables, wired a connector to one of the included cables for my aftermarket RGB footwell lights and prepared a cable, going from the B-pillar on the passenger side to the footwell lights. The RGB controller still gets 12V from the cigarette socket as explained before, but the footwell LED strip gets 12V directly from the B-pillar, bypassing 12V from the controller. R, G and B wires are still connected to the controller:

I’m going to be redoing my interior after New Years for a change. At the present it’s wrapped in KPMF gloss black with Hexis tiffany blue (I haven’t done the door handle trims yet but that will all be getting done at the same time when it’s time for a change) and the steering wheel trim in VviVid forged carbon film and Oraguard 270 gloss PPF on top for gloss effect

The only interior addition that my car would ever need...

It is not too difficult, took me a couple of hours. You don't need to shorten the cables but as the kit was made as plug'n'play for people with OEM footwells there is a lot of excess cable.
The kit has everything you need for the B-Pillar lights, it has female and male connector, you can remove all the pins from the female connector and use it like in the video:

The yellow vinyl wrap is a good idea. I've never wrapped anything so I'm a bit reluctant but I guess you can easily just remove it if you don't like the look.

Here's some pics of mine. About a week after I finished the matte yellow I decided to change it to a gloss orange (3m 2080), just fit better with the amber lighting imo and orange m performance calipers on BSM should look pretty cool (reminds me of Halloween). The suede is from Amazon as is the L-shaped trim piece on the center console. Did the door handle inserts in it as well. I need to fix the suede around the buttons near the shifter. I'll wrap the door pieces above the ambient lighting in the spring/summer.

Installed the custom redline alcantara hand brake boot and armrest.

Pro tip, buy an aftermarket armrest and install the fabric on it rather than your OEM armrest. Reason being you can take them apart and tuck the fabric in under the plastic for a super clean look.

Also spray painting an aluminum aftermarket I drive controller. This fake ceramic thing has gotta go

Btw selling that gloss carbon surround trim for the selector, changing it up for dry to match

Updated mine with F80 carbon dash trim and door cards with extended leather and rear sun blinds from a 40th anniversary M3. The door ambient light is white on these M3 door cards and much brighter than the standard orange ones.

Looking beautifully clean! I’m wondering if you could take pictures when it’s dark to have a look at your ambient light? The pre lci ambients are soo dull

Don't know if this counts as a mod but can't do without it in the Netherlands…

That doesn't look like a .44 Magnum. They're mandatory in Texas.

Nope, no guns over here. Just umbrellas.

M-Sport steering wheel makes a world of difference.

Sorry - haven't seen your reply - here is a picture of my F80 ambient light - it's much brighter than the orange one
