I feel like you’d likely have better crafts people in England doing things the old way. Out here they watch a YouTube video and suddenly they’re experts at anything. I was watching an English car show with that useless fast talker that buys the cars and has the mechanic partner do all the work. Anyway they took a steering wheel and had it redone by a gentleman (notice I didn’t say dude) that’s been refurbishing steering wheels for what looks like 50 years in his small shop. He did amazing work!

I know exactly what you mean. The shop that did my steering wheel is a very reputable one and it's been there for a long time. It's a small shop an hour drive from London. In fact there is a big Mustang community in the UK and a lot of these guys had their steering wheels redone by them. It's top job, I wouldn't go there otherwise!

Did you all buy this wheel without the heated wheel feature, checked the website and heated wheel is not available for this custom wheel

Heat is deleted on CF steering wheels.

Used to be, but not anymore, there is at least one vendor that offers a heated version (for a cool $150 extra): https://carbonaddons.com/products/20...steering-wheel

Yes, their wheels look really good and have a lot of options. I got my CF wheel from Wildhammer 3-4 years ago. No heat on their wheels back then. I don't care about that anyway. My car is stored when it is cold.

Here is mine and also a pic of a thing to look out for/warning message! Be careful only the wheel comes off during the process and make sure the steering coil spring assembly stays in place !!!

In the meantime I also replaced the original shift paddles that came with the wheel and got less angular ones that are still long and beautiful, but leave more finger room and cluster visibility.

I am not a fan of Alcantara on the steering wheel, so that was one of the first things I changed and it is heated

Check out C2 Customs, they have this wheel available right now. I was looking at it for my car (also rapid blue), but I really like the alcantara on track. It would look awesome on a RB car.
