Default Steering Wheel - TDCMS

Just purchased a Carbon Fiber wheel from DTCMS ..... Should be a nice upgrade ..

I made the wheel in black - but my airbag is cocoa .... Just checked Suncoast Porsche and it looks like that its not just a round cover but an entire unit..

Any suggestions how to change it to black ?

Double check what you purchased, the steering wheel you pictured will NOT fit your airbag.

You will need a sports steering wheel, not a multifunction, which you pictured.

For reference here's my carbon multi function flat bottom wheel from DCTMS

Edit, after looking at it again that's a cayenne wheel which i'm sure you did not order for your turbo.

You will love the wheel!

if you want a black airbag, you can get one separately, but they are not cheap. You can recover roughly half of the money by selling the cocoa version, but you will have to be patient.

Looks like $800 for the black round airbag.... Maybe the airbag manufacturer sells just the cover ???

well - step one first - take it into my auto body guy and see what he thinks ... a nice tape job and a flat black paint ...

or step 2 - maybe the guy that is going to wrap the exterior of the car has an idea... would think it could be wrapped in a matte black that could look custom ???
