I have pretty big hands so the added thickness suits me well, although it made fitment harder to do.
Really suggest to take the steering wheel off the car to do the work.

Also really like the bigger carbon fibre paddles, but dont fit in the cheap section I guess
Does the wheel feel more suede than alcantara on the sides?

Yep, I had to google that one. Is that basically a toiletry kit?

Anyone know where to get that red start/stop switch? Been looking and the places I found want to charge more for shipping than the item to Canada. Not worth it at $60US.

I really like the black M2 badge. I bought the M2 Competition badge and just used the M2 portion. Looks great on my AW M2.

There are plenty on e-bay for $9.99 USD or so. I'm not sure about shipping.

I got mine from X-PH for $30. They're a vendor I trust. Shipping was free.

I think you being in Canada may complicate things a bit.

I know what you mean about crazy shipping costs. I was ready to order some $20 vinyl grill stripes from a vendor, until I saw the shipping was $9. I mean if we're driving these cars we can afford $9, but I would have felt like an idiot paying almost a 50% charge just to drop something in the mail.

That's exactly my issue with shipping, it's not that I can't afford it but having to pay almost as much as the item itself is freaking ridiculous.

For example, the site you linked, the cost of the item is $29.95 but when I estimate shipping to me, the cheapest method available is $27.99. Like WTF. And get this, the fastest possible is $160.84! Like are you freaking kidding me.

Is it an overlay for the entire tail light or just the reverse portion?

Just the reverse section for an easier home application process, but it gives the whole light a darker look an feel due to the clear section being darker! Let me know if you want to get setup with a set.
