Installed a Carbon Zone Poland CF/Alacantara steering wheel.

Jacek Wisniewski uses a US OEM core, so fitment was spot on.

Haven’t had a chance to drive with it, as am working on a couple small items and prepping the car for a track day 2/21/21 @Big Willow

For anyone interested in a steering wheel swap, I’ve posted a DIY here

Carbon Zone Poland has nice quality products. I bought a surrounding badge cover from them and it took more than 3 weeks to arrive. It was worth the wait and Jacek responds to you on FB if you have any questions to ask of them.

Took beach detour this evening for quick snaps and to see how ceramic sheds dust and how well it shines. Seems less dust prone.

Tomorrow is an anniversary of sorts.. one year since ASR CF hood scoop ordered,
I’m not bitter, just stupid and really patient but not understanding why further delays.

Repyt you and I had this conversation before regarding ASR. But my first set of badges I ordered in January of last year took about 6 months to arrive. The first rear badge had a hole in it and returned it only to wait 2-3 months for a replacement and then the second one was defective within a couple weeks with the material coming apart from within the badge. Still have not received the replacemt for that from ASR. So I feel you on your situation that 1 year is just discouraging to deal with one company's delays. Especially when it's a pain to even get in contact with ASR.

On another note. The car looks great. Gotta love that ceramic coat. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see some early morning or late evening shots of your car to really get to see that shine.

The guy nearly flipped out of his pants when he saw all the red inside the interior. ?

Probably need to tack on another sticker on the window that instead of saying “Intel Inside” to “Red inside”. ?

Red Shift boot collar hard to push down and remove on 2020. Using pry tools but no luck. Probably I’m just a weakling. ?

Stupid me tried to unscrew the knob first counter clockwise that’s why numbers are upside down.

Any ideas folks? I’m trying to upgrade my shifter knob. Thanks!!

The easiest way to get it down is to grab the little rigid ring right below the red collar (you'll be able to feel it through the Alcantera) and pull down hard. If you're using a pry tool to aid while doing this, wedge it between the shift knob and the red ring; not the Alcantera and red ring as the ring is attached to the Alcantera.

Is the red ring assembly supposed to unfasten itself from the shift knob? Seems like it doesn’t want to pull down free. Hard to get leverage on it as well. I have channel locks but I’m afraid the teeth will bite down hard on metal and make a mark. I can see the alcantara seperate from red ring but the whole thing (red collar and plastic ring) has to come down as one unit?

The Alcantera is glued (possibly stapled) to the red plastic ring if I'm not mistaken, that's one unit/part when you actually buy it. So the red ring is not part of the shift knob, so it should separate from the knob. The red ring is attached to a plastic assembly that physically clips into the shifter assembly that he shift knob screws on top of. You really don't need to touch the shift knob to get the shift boot down (though it might be helpful to hold onto it for leverage), you'd want to grip the actual Alcantera bit and pull down.

Edit: the red ring is like the silver ring on the 2017-19 models.

Edit 2: the first time getting the thing off is a PITA (for the 17-19 and I'd assume the 20-21 models).

Yes you are correct it’s very hard to remove. This damn thing has a mind of its own and doesn’t want to be separated from the car.

Man if I had the strength of Thor this this would have been off an hour ago.

Good luck getting it off if you haven't already. You do have to manhandle it the first few times. Honda tolerance is very tight on that part for whatever reason
