Both of your cars look great. Congrats on the E88’s. Always great to see members getting out on drives together.

Alcantara looks new but the wheel looks used. Can I ask who did the wrap? Also, you can eliminate the shiny spoke ends with a light touch of a scotch bite pad and some compound. It's a tricky method but can be successfully done. Testors paint also carries some matte clear that can be applied, if the shine bothers you.

Several things I see with this is that it's black and unless your vents are black, it's not going to match. Also, this looks to be a vinyl airbag so you may want to change out the spoke bezel and the airbag with your current one.

The sheen can easily be removed with alcohol and a magic eraser… I wouldn’t try and put anything on it before you clean it. The black because this is an 841/CLA optioned wheel, i haven't notice it doesnt match the vent trim on mine but maybe now I will lol.

or wait your talking about the color of the Alcantara also, is it black?

Sharp eye as always! This was a new to me steering wheel that I refinished in alch(from leather). All grey is out of my interior(CF vents and trims, shark blue shifter trim) so this should match better. nwcrafted did the wrap. Fresh Alch and no padding like factory. I actually prefer the black center trim for this design.

now that Raudi pointed this out I have to start shopping for CF vents… I do have a few CF OE options so it should look good… are you glad you the did the cup holder vs the original CF bit for the glovebox?

Sounds like you're fully dialed in on the aesthetics. I want black so bad but when I did black carpet it stood out like sore thumb. I wish Porsche did black carpet, vents, etc... instead of that of gray.
