- I have Amazon Prime and it got to me in 2 days.
- I had some Amazon gift cards from the holidays.
- If it was garbage, I could easily return it to Amazon, lol.

That's where I was at when I decided to go this direction. The Dallas Customs wheel I wanted was going to be about $450, plus I would have to buy a second steering wheel. I knew I wanted an upgraded wheel, but wasn't sure if I was willing to pay that much. I don't have any regrets with my decision.

So my wheel modifications and carbon fiber overlay on stock pieces were both done by IGT if my memory is correct a few years ago. I am not sure why this was posted on CFE's facebook page unless they are really the same company or maybe they were just showing the carbon fiber interior pieces installed. ????

I greatly underestimated the time this project would take, which made it more difficult since I had to reinstall the steering wheel half done to get to work after failing to complete the project on Sunday. Here are my estimated times spent on each part of the process as I recall:
Session 1:
First time taking the steering wheel off: ~ 30 minutes
First time taking steering wheel trim off: ~ 10 minutes
Aligning leather and applying double sided tape: ~ 2 hours
Figuring out how to do the stitch pattern: ~ 1 hour
Stitching the straight sections and pulling it tight: ~ 3 hours
Reinstalling steering wheel: ~ 15 minutes
Session 2:
Second time taking the steering wheel off: ~ 15 minutes
Second time taking steering wheel trim off: ~ 5 minutes
Stitching the corner sections and pulling it tight: ~ 2 hours
Finishing touches and reinstall: ~ 1 hour
Total Time Spent: ~ 10+ hours of labor
I learned a lot though and it was a fun project. I have modified and retrofit headlights previously so I am no stranger to tedious and laborious projects. If I had to do it again, I could probably do it much quicker.

Looks incredible.
Did you use any particular reference to remove and replace the wheel? Did you mess with the guts/air bag?
Really nice work.

Dude, you're answering all the wrong questions. This thread is specifically about non-CF(E) wheels
Yes, but OP didn't want CF and got what he wanted
dalton91 was asking Ryne where he got the pic of his non-CF wheel. Not the CFE one you posted
GFTW is asking dalton91 about his non-CF wheel
Only question you correctly addressed
