Got mines in the other day. Just wanted to clarify on something:

When removing the rear plastic panel and transferring the guts, are they just held in by the screws?

Any any link to the CF trim? Thanks for the write up!

Hi, Congratulations :)

Yes, the rear plastic panel and other stuff just hold by some screws,
easy :)

The Carbon Fiber Trims are from eBay,
and below is the link:

Here is the link to J's Racing store at Rakuten:

jsracing | Rakuten Global Market: Sports steering-carbon black / yellow stitch

It is not that expensive, $ 376.62 (¥ 45,360) plus shipping...

Garyman 09-22-2015 10:37 AM

Thanks man!

I'm going to hate myself for clicking on that link :p

bensenvill 09-25-2015 12:02 AM

ok that is pretty sick!

is it wrong of me to want the identical wheel without the bling of the cf and yellow stitching,

portron 09-25-2015 12:12 AM

Then would you consider this model, below is the website link :)

It do not have the carbon fiber part, only leather,
but it still have red stitching with large logo of J's Racing
