I bought mine from DCTMS, although the reviews are mixed on CL.

DCTMS has many restrictions, while Elvin is a rockstar and will do whatever you ask of him.

DCTMS, however, allows you to return the steering wheel core to get a $200 refund (keep in mind it'll cost around ~$35 in shipping fees).

I believe I paid around $600 for both the steering wheel and shift ****.

You can review my installation here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rom-dctms.html

EDIT: Another angle with the CF trim.

Same, lol. Got the shift **** and spoiler after wasting money on cheapo carbon parts on amazon. Still trying to convince myself to buy the steering wheel. Shipping costs went up since covid, so trying to wait it out and see if costs down down a smidge. At one point he quoted 700 pre-covid, but without heating element.

I emailed Elvin asking about his products and never heard back.

Can anyone tell me what choice of leather and carbon fiber he offers?

Can he do leather to match the flaxen interiors?

I have a lux package with flaxen and wood trim. Does he only do carbon fiber or does he do wood too and if only carbon is there a less flashy carbon fiber that won't stand out so much as I have no other carbon fiber trim and don't plan too. I have liked the marble carbon fiber I've seen. Does he do that?

Never tried email, that available via his Facebook?

I always DM on Instagtam and have never waiting more than a couple hours for a response (usually much faster).

I have seen a ridiculous variety of options, so I have to believe he can match most things within reason.

His email is at the top of the instagram page. I don't use instagram so that's why I emailed.

Where do you find out what the options are? I can't even look at all of his products on the instagram page before it cuts me off to create an account. Does he list them anywhere or does he send you a list or something? I just wish he had a proper website for this but I guess I'll have to create an instagram account to find out.

You can see examples on his Facebook page if you have that as well.
But yea, I just scroll his page to see everything, but he'll send examples as well if I ask about specific items I haven't seen on his page.

I dealt with him through Facebook and he’s very responsive.

He also does forged carbon fiber, but I didn’t like the look of it, but also does piano black if you want to have it all black gloss.

Look for Elvin Wong on Facebook

For the steering wheels that show speed, rpm and shift lights, how are these wired for that?
