Carbon steering wheel trim

Does anyone know where I can find gloss carbon steering wheel trim? I drove a G82 M4 last week and feel in love with the paddles on the car, which are currently available to buy, but can't find the steering wheel trim anywhere.

Check out this thread on noushy's custom carbon fiber wheel plus M Performance carbon fiber paddles. I'm sure if you PM him he'll graciously help you out with the hookup to get something built for you M8 GC comp.

EDIT: I was on my mobile and apparently the URL to the thread didn't post so here it is.

The one I got was through r33_RGSport and I think it was this one:

But there is also custom options too:

I got the 3D paddles installed and I really like them:

How does the new M4 drive versus your car?

Is it easy to install or you had to have them installed?

they are easy to install; however I got it professionally installed because I'm doing the side skirts, diffuser, splitter, spoiler, pedals, canards, wings, and vents. in addition to the wheel trim, top piece, and paddles.

if it was just the paddle shifters, I could probably do it myself.

I was definitely impressed, not as fast for sure but it was much faster than my F82 Comp. Steering was tighter, crisper. Sounded excellent...and those damn bucket seats are one of the most gorgeous and comfortable seats ive ever sat in.

And to all that responded about the trim, thank you all so much!

yes, they were posted in this forum on a different thread. the car is covered in mud. I will be updating with new pictures once the front splitter and diffuser are installed and the car is cleaned up.
