Question What do you think about this steering wheel mod ?
Edit: Just so there is no missunderstanding, the roundel is from EAS, what i am talking about is the wheel trim

This one is just a test, to se how it feels, and looks on the car.
I will do a nice one, and finish it off with clear coat if i decide to have it.
So what i did is got a thin carbon look foil, removed the trim and applied the foil. The reason for me doing this is that the original trim paint is falling off, i talked to the dealer, and it is not coverd so i got to get a new one, or try something like this or just having it repainted
I realy dont want it to look cheap ?
So what do you think?

I like the C.F. if the rest of the trim matches, just the wheel alone makes it look out of place
