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?

My X is black, so i have replaced all the logos with Carbon black, it looks nice, not that you notice it that mutch, just that the car is diferent from all the others.

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

As you can se i have C.F. roundel on the wheel, and i am thinking about doing the shifter sourounding like mrbmw, but that is about it.
