yup, it's the eBay one! I TOFTT and just ordered it. They will customize it to spec (I got the stitching and the top bar to match my stone seats.)
For buying it off eBay, they took $50 off.
Quality is great - top notch. Every bit as good as my dallas customs wheel.
The white line is dead center, but for some reason it looks offcenter in pics (even their "stock" pics.)
The seller has pretty much the worst communications on earth. After I ordered (and paid for!) the wheel, there was a period where they didn't respond to my emails for literally 23 days.

Very nice, OP. I love the shape of that steering wheel, although the CF is too shiny for me. Regardless, it does look amazing. Between the wheel, the wood trim, and those CARSMO *****, you've got a pretty upscale look going on there.
Conflicts a little bit with that Heavy Metal you're playing on the NAV screen, but hey... I'm old.
What's that strip of blue light in front of the shifter?

Nice eyes to pickup the Of Mice & Men!! The funny part..I'm 35, and WAY too old to be listening to that nonsense. I'm actually going to see those guys in NYC next month, and I can virtually guarantee I'll be the oldest person there. My wife thinks I'm ludicrous.
The blue light is a chrome strip with side-firing leds. It looks stock when off (matches up with the chrome trim on the side of the shifter.) I missed the ashtray lights from the 07-09s, so I attempted to light it up a bit. Mixed feelings about it.

Looks even better on! I was thinking about our convo yesterday and you're right that just made my list.
It looks a lot better against the maple than I thought it would too. I would hold off on changing that out. I'll have to reach out for them to see if they can match my blue stitching.

Forget ebay, check with Tony over at Carbon Fiber Element.
Then you can loose the wood & have it done in cf.
btw, steering wheel was only part I didn't have in cf.
Had full interior & auto kits x cf lip / diffuser & side skirts.
Nice piece, but I wouldn't want to be waiting 23 days for a response to an email.
