CF Wheel/Alcantara M3 Style Stitch by CFElement

Carbon Fiber Element · 03-08-2012, 02:57 PM

Hey guys, Just finished this up today. My normal cf wheel top and bottom, but this time a twist. Its done with alcantara on the sides and a silver m3 style stitch to jazz it up a little. Also, did a matching shift boot and switch panels to go with it....

Enjoy

Oh and here's a shift boot with new leather and a red stitch for some other lucky guy on here!!!
To go with his new red cf wheel.....

Very nice! I like the M3 stitching. Where do you put the seam for the CF? I assume the back side of the wheel? Just wondering how it (the seam) looks.

Nice job, I commented on one of the pics on Facebook, but top notch!

looks nice but stitching needs some work on the steering wheel. OVERALL BADASS!

Yea I put it on the backside. The seam is actually not very noticeable at all since I get it as small as possible. But to blend it a little better I run a fine airbrush line across the seam. Sorry, I've never actually taken a pic of the back of one of my wheels yet. I will on the next one.
