snapped an updated interior shot. have swapped out all the touch points now for M-sport pieces... steering wheel, shift lever, start button, pedals. Just need the dead pedal now and I should be happy.

Looking good! The steering wheel wrap is a good inexpensive DIY. I did it and I love it. It looks good and feels great on the grip.

Looks nice! I think your interior will look amazing with the M Performance CF interior trim. You have the perfect interior for CF IMHO.

I got it from Amazon. Like others said they are all pretty much the same. Cost around 60-80. You can choose what finish you want. I got the full suede one. But I think it's really just microfiber. It takes time and patience to get done but you won't regret when it is done.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't thought about it.

Got it, I'm torn on suede because of the wear marks from oil and such. And my fiancé already agreed to stitch it for me since I lack these skills lol

She's a keeper! Then just get the half perforated leather and half suede.

I'm less than impressed with the Mewant cover I got. It looks OK once done, but really wasn't worth the 4 hours invested in installation. I also had an issue with mine where the factory stitching on the perforated part of the cover didnt line up so my cross stitch looks crooked. The factory stitching on the regular leather portion was more even and that part of the cover looks great.

I would avoid the perforated leather for that reason or go with black stitching (I got M tri-color) so any crossed up stitching won't be as noticeable.

What's the average damage on those?. I checked the website but didn't see any prices...also didn't see any F15 options though I imagine the same wheeI is used on different models.

Order the F80 steering wheel and follow up with an email that you have a F15. In your email you can also explain if you have paddles, heating, etc. Pricing is around $300 - $350 all in.
