Wow, first time seeing the 2016+ wheels on an earlier GS! Looks awesome! The side splitters looks great as well, looks beautiful overall!

Finally received and installed my DCTMS Carbon steering wheel and shift ****. I went with Carbon top and bottom wheel with F-Sport logo. Haven't seen anyone with this combo with red stitching. Josh mentioned I was the first to have this combo. Grey/White stitching would've matched my interior better, but RED is sexy AF!

Huge thanks thanks to Josh and Ivan team @ @DCTMS. Love this mod so much. Completely transformed my interior now that I wrapped all the aluminum to CF too. Love the meaty sport grips too.

Dope, congrats bro! Looks sick! Your interior looks similar to mine. I have the whole red/black theme going as well.

Eddie your post was what inspired me to finally order the carbon wheel and shift ****. Been drooling at your pics for a long time

BTW, the new wheel I can't get it centered like my original wheel. It's about a couple degrees tilted to the right. I tried to remove and readjust seems like the teeth on new wheel is slightly different than my original. Any tricks you can recommend to get the wheel centered?

LOL Dude! I have the same exact problem. The teeth are off several degrees. There are two ways to fix it. One is a very difficult (remove the steering linkage under footwell and adjust, etc.).. Second is annoying but easier. Pull the steering wheel off just enough to adjust it a few teeth marks and see if it aligns. You're basically going to have to do a trial-and-error to get it right. Once you get it right, mark it with a marker to use as a guide if you ever need to remove it in the future. I have been meaning to get around to fixing it but have been busy with work. My projects have been on hold for a while, haha.

You did a great job given that it was a universal generic set too.

Thanks guys! Took a chance on them and it seemed to work out great. I appreciate all the positive feedback.

Just got finished with my first few mods. Went with 20% ceramic tint all around, Avery gloss black vinyl roof, and the carbon fiber insert for the rear emblem.

OCD part of me had to rewrap driver's trim to match dash trim. Ever since I remove this trim piece now I have a buzzing sound from behind the air vent. Argh! Anybody know how to fix it?

Drove it a 100 miles while it's still dry out. We're gonna get 5-8 inches this weekend so it will sit for awhile.

Yep, me too! I've been doing some errands in the GS. We're expecting rain on/off in SoCal for the 6 days!

I never use the brushes at these car washes and just do the pressure wash in the evenings. And even still you can still see a layer of dirt so I ordered iron x and seriously wow, the best I've seen yet without a proper hand wash.

Did that take care of the noise that you thought was coming from that area?
