So I may be late to the CF party but I just picked up my 2020 in April. Im looking to swap out just the center piece similar to how the Shelby raptor is set up. (Don’t need to spend $1500+ on a new wheel when I live in NY and like the heated function during the winter)

I’ve seen both carbon cartel and vivid racing list this piece online. Anybody in here have these? Pics/reviews? Biggest concern of mine is it matching the OEM CF finish on the other parts in the truck.

I wish Ford/Shelby would just sell certain pieces directly from the dealership

I have a 2019. That plastic center piece where you press to honk/where the emblem is has torn twice through the perforations that are made to tear when the airbag deploys. Both times replaced under warranty. I can tell you that I wasn’t able to only replace the cover as it comes from Ford attached to the airbag as the driver airbag assembly. Had no luck finding just the cover. You’ll notice if you google Ford Raptor steering wheel airbag cover most of the options are several hundred dollars as they come attached to an airbag.

Unless you wanna pay some guy the $3k he’s asking on eBay to custom make you a carbon fiber one out of a genuine OEM Shelby Raptor Steering wheel but god knows what you’ll get from FedEx when it finally arrives

That is a sexy interior… the carbon fiber accents really set off the combination very well.

Just to note, the Shelby interior pieces are all "carbon fiber look". Not actual carbon fiber. The picture attached above has this CF look.
Exactly. You could get all of this on Ebay.

Sorry, but the CF "look" has always looked very cheap/shiney plastic crap you'd get at a swap meet!
Lol agreed. My 2019 has it and while nicer than the flat black option still looks like a Honda Civic upgrade from a local discount auto parts store

Is it really? I wasn’t aware. I’m a sucker for carbon fiber. I like a nice interior in general. The steering wheel train just seems off on the inside with everything else being carbon fiber. Not everybody’s taste but I like it.
