Close up of carbon fiber steering wheel

Here is a close up of the real carbon fiber steering wheel that American Sitiches makes. It matches the guages.

Oh, yea, it's very getto. Blacks and Mex'x love my truck,but being from South Louisana there is no doubt those sneaky genes are in my blood. HA, that's the only thing that can explain my taste.

Here is the link for the steering wheel. Please tell Terry I sent you.

Those are lightning bolts airbrushed in the words supercharged

No, just parts. Here are some more pictures.


The door pull is also done in real carbon fiber to match the wheel.


I wish you could see the depth that was put on the wheel and door pull, the coating over the carbon fiber looks 1 foot deep.

Nice, you're the first guy I've seen accesorize the dash pieces with something besides brushed alum or carbon fiber... I went carbon fiber myself, Rich's kit rocks. :) He can probably get other pieces done for you if you need, shoot him an email.

I'm still up in the air on the billet **** and such, I am going to go for the shifter and blinker, but I dunno if billet AC and window **** will stick out too much on the interior.

I do like that carbon fiber insert on the handle, where'd you get that done?

Now you just need to add these:

How much for the wheel if you don't mind? Also, do you buy the whole new steering wheel, do you send yours in, or is it a kit that you can install yourself?

I have to say I love your lightning color!

Let's see, the cost of the wheel was about $600, the doorpull about $250. They will send you a steering wheel to use while they cover yours for a $25 charge.

These guys are great to deal with. I wish you could see the depth of the carbon fiber wheel parts, and I love that smooth feel as I do most of my driving with my hands on top of the wheel.
