Looks great! I have DCTMS carbon steering wheel and shift ****. I chose to go with red stitching to match my start button.
Easily my most favorite mods to date. Feels great gripping the wheel every time I'm in the car.

I sold my steering wheel to DCT Motorsport and the owner actually was impressed with my quality.
I updated my shift **** to the newer style and kept it oem.

Lol yeah he made mine with the heating element as he found a way to do it, and to my knowledge hes the only one that has done. This was the main reason I went with him and that I can keep my stock steering wheel.

The reason Elvin will do steering wheels with the heating element while the rest of the "USA-based" vendors won't do it is due to liability. Even though most of the "USA-based" vendors are in California, they still outsource the work, but are still liable if something goes up in flames. I'm sure they can add a disclaimer stating they are not responsible, but I presume they want to avoid the hassle all together. Regardless, Elvin does good work and is a nice guy.

Great looking wheel. The shape and leather is the tactile benefit. Resin is resin. The depth of carbon is a neat upgrade.
I like the luxury look with the bamboo on flaxen. I had three BMW's Msport or sport suspention/seats as an option on earthtone leather so it was a "Sport" but a GT cabin. Loved the sport upgrades but no the sport appearance on my bmw's.
Fsport interior as it does not go into boy racer territory with red stiching and the carbon highlights. Not to step on anyones toes, its just that I really like the Naguri!!!!
Generally the wood trims were very important to me. I don't like multiple surface steering wheels. Nice to look at but I like leather. Carbon is a facinating visual texture and I can see its appeal.
What sold me on the GS interior is the Naguri trim. Im totally into the Lexus thing with design (again, this is a departure from 30 years of only teutonic auto experiences) and this car is really growing on me.
I don't love how this car looks as much as it FEELS! Not sure I'd get a Naguri trim steering wheel but it would be fun! I have looked for a Naguri steel travel mug. Nothing found!
Great steering wheel and the shape is very attractive! Good luck with it and enjoy your ride!

Just some general feedback on my new carbon fiber steering wheel on my 2014 Lexus GS350 F Sport.
After doing much research from many vendors, I came across a reputable seller. I checked out some guy on youtube who installed one on his GSF, but his complaint was about the sharp edges on the leather part. When I received my steering wheel I was in love and did not have the sharp edge issue.
Feels and looks amazing and very comfortable with the thick grip and grip molding to wrap your fingers on the back of it. I will be posting a video on youtube when I get a chance, but here are some pics of it.
I asked for the red tape as the interior is red and goes with the theme of my car with the gray stitching which goes nicely with the gray stitching of the interior. I kept the OEM airbag and silver trim to compliment the rest of the silver trim because too much carbon fiber would be overkill IMO.
BEST MOD I have done so far!
