Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel

[FL.ranger]

Just got my custom carbon fiber steering wheel from carbontastic and I absolutely love it. I will post better pics after I wash my truck.

I like the shape but not so much carbon fiber for me. Was that en exchange with stock core?

thats crazy...i love it too.
what was the cost?

Stupid, lol. I was the first one they ever made so I bought a new OEM wheel and when I returned mine I received the money back.
They have it on their site listed for $1,499

You can leave the trim part stock if you want. This is what I like.

the feel of the wheel is amazing. Finger grooves on the back of the top section, nice thick diameter, and the 2 & 3 o’clock have such nice contours in the leather . Makes driving more pleasurable.

Even all the carbon on the wheel. I prefer leather. I do have a project in working on for mine but I'm waiting on parts. I'll post it on my build thread once it's done. No hints.

Replacing something that's part of the crash survivability design and testing with an untested product just for looks? Pass.

Looks cool....just not $1500 cool.

If you're going to spend money making the interior nicer, the steering wheel is often overlooked.

The steering wheel is the one thing that you're constantly in contact with so improvements there are noticed/appreciated every time you hop in.

That does look cool, though a bit too much carbon fiber for me.

You should have asked me first so that I could tell you how to properly spend your money getting something that I approve of

Several custom steering wheel options available HERE

I do like the "D" cut on the bottom of the steering wheel.

I had one in my MX-5 and it made ingress/egress much easier, as well as just plain looking sporty.

The Ranger is a bit higher though so I don't know if the "D" cut would be as much of an improvement, aside from just plain looking sporty

God that was a dumb thing to say....

Do they or anyone else make a carbon fiber shifter?

I bet they would be up for the challenge. Have been wanting to do that but I’m unsure about the logistics. Taking my shifter off and sending it in or having to buy a new one....

that thing is sweet. carbon fiber the stuffing out of the whole interior would be epic. what's with all steering wheels having the supports at 6 o'clock? I like to roll with left arm hanging out the window- for easy bird flipping- and right hand at 6 on the wheel. Think for only $1500 they would custom make it without the supports?

Very funny, I just received mine from SoCal Garage Works yesterday. I have yet to install mine, but here are some pictures for comparison. They are listed at $695 on their site. Everything is customer preference. I chose blue stripe/stitching with perforated leather and carbon fiber.

Did you have to pay extra for the button area, or was that included in the price.
