I ordered one but it states that they are on backorder due to the OEM part being on backorder when you go to the website. Hopefully the waiting list isn't too bad.

i've seen both in person since we test them out and is truly a tough choice. for me i have a partial red alcantara theme going with overland's red shift boot with black stitching so wanted to visually extend it to the visor. our tes team member did the all black one i just posted and loves the understatement.I really like the hood visor. The question though red or black on the bottom part hmmmm ???
flip a coin ;-)

yes, overland does it where they have these off the shelf ready to go vs. doing core exchange where you'd be out and have to wait for weeks to get it.
honda is catching on to these visors being bought in bulk. i may suggest if you can get your hands on a visor which doesn't cost much, send to overland, and turnaround is about a week.

Yes, just email them on their site. They’ll customize to a limit so just ask.

Yes, it’s the Dream Automotive steering wheel I spec’ed out and ordered from United Speed Racing. Go through Chinchi there for easier ordering. I love it to death!
Advice - do not buy steering wheels that are not made from OEM Honda core steering wheels. Some are made from non-OEM core and made in China or elsewhere and not idea of quality or safety testing. All Dream wheels are made from OEM core.

Perfect, thanks. I see it can be ordered standard thickness or increased. Which did you spec? Sounds like you're happy with the decision either way.

Most definitely do thicker. Standard means they remove the OEM leather and rewrap in alcantara. Thicker is 7% thicker as measured and reviewed. You’ll want the thicker one, promise.
Here are my full review and install steps. Review for reference before ordering so you know what to expect.

Hey what wheel do you have? It looks super nice.overland designs' newly released alcantara dash hood...installed the first one available.
it is simply amazing quality, using the right automotive grade alcantara material - not upholstery grade alcantara like others which is the wrong material. fit and finish is top notch quality....magnificent and exquisite!
they sold out of the first batch shortly after i posted the full install and review. the 2nd batch of 20 available next week is already half sold. there's a members only 10% discount code in the post.
a few pics here for those who don't have fb...
