Well time for me to eat my words... yes the wheel showed up and OMG it is beautiful

the wheel I bought off ebay was from a 2016 Gt but it was an auto. It had the openings on the back of the wheel for the shifters. At first I fought I wouldn’t be able to switch over the controls from my manual because it had extra wires and two holes in the back for shifters. I asked the smartest man I know what to do... Mr. Google... and found a video from CJPPs on YouTube which showed me how to remove the rear cover and swap everything over, including the sire harness. Install was a snap and OMG am I happy with the wheel...

Congrats on the wheel. Welcome to the CF Wheel CLUB :D.

Now if they can solve their communication and QA issues they have something, but it's still a risk to deal with them. She's a beaut and you'll notice it on the outside during a sunny day it's one interior mod that's also and exterior one aswell. :headbang:

Most car glass, if not all, is UVA and UVB proof, so you shouldnt have problems with sun damage.

Mine hasn't yet and has been sitting in the sun constantly the past couple months. I may wipe it down with UV protectant wipes just for funsies though.

Congratulations! How does the wheel feel in your hands with the mix of CF and leather?

What about thickness of the top and bottom? I can tell it's much thicker vs. the GT350 wheel.

it is really thick on top. bottom is a little thicker than the 350 wheel, but very smooth, seamless carbon fiber, beautiful work. the nine year old kid in the sweatshop did a really nice job... lol :lol:
