Anyone install the ebay amazon carbon steering wheel trim pieces?

I'm curious how the fit and finish is. There are different styles of the spoke piece too. One doesn't have the secondary piece in the center.

Also looking at the trim that goes around the buttons on the wheel. I'm guessing the stick on style look bad. Anyone found good quality ones?

I would never buy a wholesome cover for the wheel, but splits for switches and the center part.
Those shown are obviously from Ali in disguise, I saw the switch cover halfs for less than ~ 20 bucks. The big element was never spotted before but Im quite sure you would get this there too.
When you consider to buy, ensure that the CF waves are flowing the same way as in your car, some of the sellers manufacture them against OEM look and that would be looking awkward.
I had bought some CF-fake part covers in the past, some were better, others no match for my taste but that wasnt clearly visible onto the pictures. I would give it a try, you could scrap them later, when they are sh*tty

For some reason, eBay wheel trims do not fit properly.

Autotechnic trim has the best fitment in my opinion

I checked out autotechnic. There's look good, but they don't have the trim around the buttons. Does anyone make that part decent quality?
