So I bought an used steering wheel from a local in here. I got a very good price for it so decided to do all the changes in order to stay armonic with my black interiors.
EXTREMELLY HAPPY WITH RESULTS, I´ll post new pics after installation.

Who did the new covering? Looks great!!!

Leather and plastic black in one place, bezel buttons covering + wrap done buy myself, some sanding as patience with the 3m thing.

Looks much nicer than the GenIV wheel; but, I would wonder if the airbag systems are identical such that the calibrations or operational parameters are unaffected by mixing a Gen V airbag with Gen IV sensors? (I don't know anything about how airbag systems are engineered and tailored for their application.)

The air bags work exactly the same the only difference is a ground for the horn easy fix, here's a pic of my wheel in real carbon fiber.

I like it! However, this style is also showing up in Miata (below), Fiat, Mercedes, etc., so it won't be unique. But definitely better looking than the OE Gen II wheel.
