Real CF Steering Wheel Trim....

[tonester1011]

Check em out, im just about done with these for my truck. I was tired of looking at the peeling black rubber crap so i picked up a set and wrapped them with real cf. No cheap stickers or print, real deal CF. These i think i am actually going to clearcoat with a matte clear. I dont wanna go glossy on the inside. But not sure yet, i may change my mind. Im going to do all the aluminum trim as well once i get time.

This is so easy to do. Its called water transfer priniting. You can do that at home if you buy this stuff online. Here are the crazy materials you can print on your parts.

My personal choice would be snake skin. http://www.liquidprintone.com/subcategory.php?id=46

Look at the choice of woodgrain. http://www.liquidprintone.com/subcategory.php?id=4

I would suggest to clear coat it later.

You can do the same to your wheels http://www.hdhydro.com/Automotive.htm?m=66&s=592

yeah but this is actual real carbon fiber. Looks to me a lot better then the dip.

No sir its not. Water transfer printing is fake cf. Has no depth and looks NOTHING like real cf. This is real cf. Totally different process...but thank you for trying to make it sound like you know what you're talking about because you can google.

Finished last night...Decided to go with a semigloss instead of glossy clear. Going in a few to put em in the truck.

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

love them.. I am just a fan of the glossy coat though.

very cool

 

[tonester1011]

I have glossy cf on the outside. For the inside I wanted to do a semigloss so its not so flashy.
Installed....

Thank you sirs!

How hard was the install? How did you disable the airbag, just disconnect the battery? Looks great BTW......

Install wasn't hard at all...diconnect the battery, pull the air bag, pull the wheel, then take it all apart and put it back together again. Took about half hour for me.

I don't think you need to remove the wheel for just the trim pieces, but thanks. I am going to install my brushed trim just as soon as this DC area cold streak breaks!!!

looks nice with the color you have on the inside. Wouldn't know with the ebony color I have.

Ok bro, well you let me know how it goes when u actually do it with the wheel still in the car. Its 1 nut holding the wheel on. Trying to do the swap while keeping it in would be kinda dumb. But do your thing man, good luck.
