Frequently Asked Questions
What do we do?
We take OEM, OEM equivalent, or any aftermarket steering wheel as the base, or in our language the core. Then reshape them and refinish them with different materials to your desired design. Thus, we will accommodate ALL MAKES AND MODELS

Our pricing?
All prices on the website for each specific make and model include the cost of the core-which means you do NOT need to return your OEM steering wheel
Will I lose the heating function with my Carbon Clutch steering wheel?
We can retain the heated function for a fee starting at $150 - depending on core availability, we may or may not provide a plug to connect to your OEM connection but it should be very simple soldering.
Will I receive a complete steering wheel in the package?
No, you would have to transfer the airbag as well as the casing back cover (in some cases), multifunction buttons, wire harness, and trim pieces (in some cases).
The multifunction buttons and wire harness may be included with the steering wheel, however, those are complementary and we recommend transferring your OEM controls to the new steering wheel to complete the installation because those buttons and wire harness might not be compatible with your vehicle. Issues. *Except for some of our Facelift upgrade steering wheel purchases.
Turn-around Time?
Next, you will receive a confirmation email sent out manually to double-check and confirm the order within 48 hours. Once confirmed with you, all products are made by order and hand built, it will take around 5-8 weeks to build before ship out.
When it is close to finishing, we will share a photo with you as we share the process. Once it is shipped, you will receive an automatic email from our system containing the tracking number of your package.
Depending on the availability of core and the complexity of the build– it can take anywhere from 5-8 weeks assuming no delays after we have the core in hand. Additional delays are expected during peak season. We will try our best to deliver in a timely manner but unfortunately, there will be cases where it will take us up to 2-3 months.
Shape and Thickness
Reshape to your liking – whether it be a cut-off top, flat bottom, flat top, rectangle, triangle, or whatever crazy idea you have, we can make it happen. Just bear in mind we need to keep the core structure so we need to at least keep the horizontal spoke intact and some shapes will be limited by the button layout. But anywhere beyond those areas we can cut, re-weld, and reshape them.
Thickness – some prefer OEM some like it thicker some might want to go even thinner than OEM. Not a problem, we take our time, listen to your request, and will make it happen.
How does the LED shift light work?
The LED shift light receives information wirelessly from the OBD2 module via Bluetooth. And the wireless OBD2 plug is included with the purchase. No extra wiring for data reading is needed, but you do have to use a multimeter to find out the 12V (+) (positive) and ground (-) (negative) to power up the shift light module. They are usually found in the steering wheel multifunction plugs wiring for most European and American vehicles. Japanese vehicles usually will have to run an extra ACC wire from the closest point to the steering wheel clock spring
