CF steering wheel bezel group buy

A few have already had a sneak peek on the blog but I am very excited to announce this group buy for carbon fiber steering wheel bezel cover!

This is a CF cover that goes around the steering wheel buttons. The area that gets easily scratched due to the finish.

This wasn't an easy piece to make due to the contours in different axis and also the holes/edges that need to be perfect.

Each piece will come with 1.5mm thick 3M tape on the coners but this bezel design actually allows the cover to snap into place for a snug fit so adhesive is not required although it will be included for extra security.

Replacement for the bezel? You'd have to take apart your steering wheel and send me the piece.

Thanks, and very good question!

It's priced a little higher than mirror covers because it was significantly harder to produce. It took more resources and labor to perfect the prototype and mold, and I think it was pretty near perfect (see pictures). I'm also happy with the way the design came out that allows the piece to be installed and sit snugly without any adhesive. Mirror covers are much easier to reproduce, the curves are smooth and gradual, with pretty much flat surface and no holes. The bezel, on the other hand, is much more intricate, with more details.

Don't let the price fool you! The more people that sign up, the heavier everyone's cost will be discounted. Even though my R&D and production cost are higher, I'm hoping to make this available and not too costly for members. That's why it's done through a group buy right now, not individual sales. So take advantage of it while you can!


The items will also be shipped out in the order of the group buy list.

A new steering wheel runs 1200 dollars.

Sounds like an amazing price to me, especially if anyone has theirs scratched up.
