After speaking with my wife and some of her work associates, they seemd to think that it passed the iterative design process enough that it is now my own original work (i showed them where i got the inspiration from). They advised that i would be ok to proceed and if someone didnt like it they...
While driving down I-5 yesterday afternoon I found out my 5BW has a fatal flaw.
My wife was in the passenger seat, music playing softly, and a car pulls up next to me. I could tell he wanted to play. I looked over to my wife for her approval and…. She’s asleep. I hung my head in sadness as I...
Initially I was hesitant to start trimming. But a brand new blade and slow steps of material removal was actually very easy. I did a lot of comparison between the OEM wheel and this one. Like playing that game where you compare two pictures and find the differences.
You can get the sides to be alcantara/suede instead of perforated leather.
For ANYONE interested: DM @ttdcraft on instagram and tell them @lt4_blackwing sent you. They will give you a discounted price (not sure what exactly it is). I DO NOT get any type of kick back. Just trying to help the...
Looks like the company now has an option to retain the heated steering wheel functionality. Of course its an upcharge. I wish it was available at the time i ordered mine! They are using my wheel as a marketing piece. CT4/CT5 Carbon Wheel - TTD Craft
Here was my step-by-step process:
turn wheel 90 degrees in each direction in order to have access to the trim panels on the side of the wheel. remove the small trim panels on the back of the steering wheel that will expose 2 bolts (1 on each side). These bolts hold in the air bag. Return wheel...
Nope! Gotta give up the heated steering wheel for this one. Although it is nice to have, I never once missed it in the 20k miles I put on my C7 grand sport. The Carbon fiber wheels with perforated leather feel soooo nice in your hand. Just my two cents. Totally worth it for me.
I customized it through TTDCraft (@ttdcraft on instagram). I just sent them DM’s outlining exactly what I wanted. I ordered it back in August of last year when my CT5BW had a September 22 EDD… Didn’t get here till JAN23. So I was being teased by the wheel in my garage the whole time.
As far as...
Yeah. Honestly I found it was easiest to DM them on Instagram - quick response. TTDCraft. Tell them @lt4_blackwing sent you for a special price. I get no kick back, just want to help others.
The wheel took about 5 weeks from payment, to build, to shipping from overseas. It seems as though the...
I used a company from china (go figure) to get exactly what I wanted. These cars (really the CT5) is very popular in china so there are surprisingly a lot of availability for aftermarket stuff from there.
Spec’d it exactly how I wanted, to match the paint. Blue center top stripe and blue...
Took me about 3 hours to complete this one… Not quite as straight forward as my C7 carbon steering wheel was. Working to edit the videos I took so I can post my lessons learned.
What do you guys think?
Took another 30 days to get from Charleston, SC to the PNW, but it finally made it!
Had to wear my delivery swag, my wife was embarrassed. This car is amazing and I cannot wait for the weather up here to improve.
