What's the difference? Are they more supportive? If so are they harder?

Yup, it looks very nice. Euro models get the best options.

Nice build!

Is the M-Performance steering wheel thicker than the stock steering wheel?

Thanks

Looking GOOD!!!🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is that CF interior trim raw or glossy? It looks like raw and that is definitely a fantastic touch (even when glossy CF also looks good).
Enjoy your beautiful ride!

I'm not sure if steering wheel is thicker but it has other shape.I don't know how to explain it but it's not as cylindric but it's more...square that makes grip more stable.

And trim is a raw carbon. In my opinion it looks amazing! I loved the car before but now I love it even more

Was the steering wheel installed at the port or afterwards? What did they charge for install?

Steering wheel was installed later and I paid for changing. I dont know how much, because I paid for whole M performance parts with montage fee.

I will change shifter knob in next week and I will change M badges to black one.

I haven't sat in the euro ones, but they look like they would be more comfortable, and even if they weren't they're so much better looking I'd still prefer them.

Sure! I want to do this. After first photo session I realised that this car may looks better in slightly differen angle.

Now it's in detailer workshop to put PPF on the car, but in next week I'd like to make other photos.

Steering wheel with alctantara and carbon is just excelent. Carbon trim looks very nice and even alcantara armrest looks much, much better than regular one.

Exterior parts made car looks more agressive and more proportional. However back spoiler is hard to mount.

Some of you mentioned doorpin. It's such small detail that I just love
I did the spoiler recently and I had two shops look at it including the henderson, NV dealership and the fact that so little area is there to attach to the car is a problem. I expected it to be a flat surface or with much more surface to glue or tape to the car. I just added the spoiler, the door lights at the bottom and a JB4 which I am waiting until summer weather cools down here to install. I will probably get a AA catted downpipe soon.

So jealous of the Euro seats, can't go wrong with M Performance parts. Whole car looks amazing! Especially love the steering wheel.
