    360 CH steering wheel inspired me a lot so last week when I went to Vancouver for vacation I bought this $100 steering wheel that is similar to 360 steering wheel, then I bought horn button at Ricambi and Carbon fiber vinyl sticker at ebay. Total cost is $170. It took me 1 hour to put the vinyl and the horn button. I'm very happy with the result it look sick :) Here's the result hope you'll like it.

    you might have yourself a little cottage industry, I'm sure there are quite a few people on here that would pay $500 for one of those. Would look sick in a 355 as well, but obviously it has no airbag. Nice job, looks great!

    Nice and crafty! Dissapoints me though that Ferrari owners can be cheapskates :( This is something you tend to see more often on Hondas than Ferraris :(

    Looks great though, doesn't look cheap by any means.

    The horn button looks great but I would loose the carbon vinyl, the alloy finish will last and looks just as good if not a touch more classy IMO.

    Great idea though, really sets off your interior. :)

    Wow, you don't think that is a little harsh? I call that being resourceful. Many of us have been able to save enough money to buy our beloved Ferraris because we are resourceful. If we spent our lives just paying the maximum for things without thinking outside of the box and finding a more reasonable alternative, many of us certainly would not be able to experience Ferrari ownership. Maybe you have money to burn and can pay the highest price for the accessories for your Ferrari - if that is the case, I congratulate you, and feel a little sorry for you at the same time. There are many on this board who are making mods/improvements to our cars and sharing what we have learned which in turn helps the rest of us save money that can go towards other things on the cars.

    I for one think that this looks fantastic. I'll order one today! :)

    I cannot find words to express how happy I am that at least someone out there uses their Ferrari, let me guess, its been very reliable for these miles.....

    Such a fantastic thing.
