Then once its done I stitch the leather back on the sides and out it goes to its new home. The part that we actually send out is just the ring of the wheel. The only part that gets wired up is the airbag and the controls which is part of the airbag unit. And for that you just use your own. It makes perfect sense that no one can wait for us to do the cf work on these wheels, since everyone dd's their cars. Which is why we bought three and use them as swaps.

Is it possible at the time you go to reassemble the wheel, do you just reuse the same leather you took off originally, or do you put on new leather/stitching?
Only reason I ask is to see if it's possible to change the stitching color to match the stitching I plan to have in my seats (whenever you stop coming out with new CF parts to take all my money
) put in.
Is this something we can just take to a dealer to have them switch the rings, or does it have to go to an aftermarket shop to do? I can't imagine a dealer maintaining a warranty knowing the ring is changed? (Even though it would have nothing to do with anything working properly...
Lastly, do you think if you had the regular CF weave on the door inserts, silver ring, and rear strut bar, would it look dumb to have the Red Kevlar/CF on the wheel? Or just keep the standard weave on everything?
