Thanks. The OEM leather was removed and replaced with the alcantara. The OEM wheels have a bit of foam underneath as well which i wanted to remove in order to achieve a thinner diameter, it's pretty much the same thickness as a Porsche GT wheel. I'm very happy with the outcome, the driving feel is much more precise but then again i've been used to driving with thinner wheels so i guess it's a matter of preference

Hello. Do you mind share the part number or materials used for this project. Sounds interesting Thanks

Sweet. You are going to love the wheel coating. It's just wiped off without any effort with some detail spray

So I used an fibre optical ambient lighting kit similar to this one: https://www.dmpcardesign.com/accesso...product_id=221. You can find similar kits on ebay, the only thing to watch out for is the quality of the optical tube. Some of the cheaper kits have lesser quality tubes that have cracks and inconsistencies that the light catches and might not look great.

The kit I used had a single control module that controls 4 LEDs (one for each door and one for each side of the console). I ran power from the 12v adapter in the rear of the center console since I didn't want to splice into any wires. The wires are all hidden under the center console and the main control module is hidden under the cup holder.

I then ran power from the center console under the foot wells and through to the doors via the rubber harness hose (this was pretty tough).

The project requires a ton of trim removal, but if you're up to it the result is well worth it.

I'm happy to provide more info for anyone who would like to know more.

Start a thread! That's really cool to be honest

Now if only the car would arrive!! Two weeks delay because of COVID

You're awaiting on a "brand new 2019" that's delayed in delivery.

There so much wrong with that statement but I'll just let it slide and say congratulations..

we slipped in a black hole way back when Biff Tannen took office, 2020 is really an alternate universe, 19's are coming fresh off the boat.

Is that a Huawei? It's hurting my eyes. There's something much more beautiful in the background to focus on.

No Adhesive, half the strip goes into the gap, other half sits on it. Once you get the hang of it, its 5 min per side
