It defiantly has its benefits one of them being you dont the sun reflecting of your trim pieces into your eyes at certain angles.

but as the others say..i think it makes it look more sporty than cozy
the steering wheel plastic/rubber start peeling, so I have take decision to put carbon aplication on steering wheel too.
This aplication 3M film matte, so there no reflecting from the sun.

Your application looks amazing! Very meticulously done!
Do you have the instructions to remove the wooden trim? Could you please share if possible?

In fact, I have take out only steering wheel plastic parts, small woods parts like Start/Stop and small part on the left side. All anothers parts I have changed without taking them out.
I can say, that doors trims don't necessary to take at all.
More time I have spended with central wood trim, but nothing is not possible

While I'm not a big fan of the faux carbon, that is one of the best ones that I've seen!

I usually like the wood better, but that carbon is Really Sharp and I have to lean towards that!

How did you apply it to the steering wheel?
do you need to take the wheel apart?

Thanks
