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...

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

https://www.jsracing.co.jp/js2/index...-JSL&xKEYWORD=

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