High-Quality Dry Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel Cover Interior Trim for McLaren 720S | MCCARB Brand

Premium Dry Carbon Fiber Construction

Unlike standard carbon fiber, dry carbon fiber is produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) process that results in a higher fiber-to-resin ratio. This yields a product that is significantly lighter, stronger, and has a more defined, high-gloss weave pattern. The material is finished with a UV-resistant clear coat to protect against fading and yellowing from sun exposure.

OEM-Level Fitment

Each steering wheel cover and interior trim piece is precision-molded using original McLaren 720S components as a reference. This ensures a perfect, gap-free fitment that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle's existing dashboard, center console, and door panels. No modification to your original parts is required.

Complete Interior Customization

This product is part of a larger interior kit. Enthusiasts can choose to upgrade multiple elements to create a fully unified cockpit experience. Compatible components include:

• Steering Wheel Trim (as shown)
• Center Console Trim
• Dashboard Display Surround
• Door Sill Trims
• Gear Shift Paddles
• Start/Stop Button Surround

Weight Reduction & Performance Aesthetic

By replacing heavier factory plastic or leather components with lightweight carbon fiber, this upgrade contributes to an overall reduction in vehicle weight. While the effect on a single piece is minimal, a full interior package can lead to a noticeable decrease in unsprung mass, aligning with the 720S's track-focused philosophy.

Installation Guide

Installation of a steering wheel cover typically requires careful attention. For a professional finish, it is highly recommended to seek a qualified automotive technician or a McLaren specialist.

1. Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle's battery and wait at least 15 minutes before proceeding to prevent accidental airbag deployment.
2. Remove Airbag Module: Carefully detach the airbag unit from the steering wheel. This usually involves releasing clips or screws located on the sides or back of the steering wheel.
3. Remove Factory Trim: Unclip or unscrew the original steering wheel trim pieces. Take note of the fastener locations for reassembly.
4. Test Fit: Before finalizing, place the new carbon fiber cover over the steering wheel frame to ensure all holes and clips align perfectly.
5. Secure New Cover: Once confirmed, press the new cover into place, securing it with the original fasteners or clips.
6. Reinstall Airbag: Reconnect the airbag module and ensure it clicks securely into place.
7. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test all steering wheel controls and horn functionality.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the high-gloss finish and structural integrity of your carbon fiber components, follow these care tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution (like car shampoo) and water. Avoid abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners.
• UV Protection: Although the clear coat is UV-resistant, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause damage. Park in shaded areas or use a car cover when possible.
• Avoiding Scratches: Do not use rough materials or brushes on the surface. When cleaning, use gentle, linear motions rather than circular ones.
• Ceramic Coating: For long-term protection and enhanced shine, consider applying a ceramic coating specifically formulated for carbon fiber. This creates a hydrophobic barrier against contaminants.

Pricing & Availability

Pricing varies depending on the specific component(s) and the supplier. A standalone steering wheel cover typically ranges from $800 to $2,000, while a full interior bundle can cost upwards of $3,000. It's important to confirm compatibility with your specific 720S model year and variant (Coupe or Spider).

After-Sales Service & Warranty

Reputable suppliers typically offer the following support:

• Warranty: A standard 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects is common.
• Returns: Most suppliers accept returns within 30 days if the product is unused and in its original packaging.
• Replacement: In the event of a defect, the supplier will typically offer a replacement part.
• Technical Support: Assistance with fitment issues or installation questions is often available via email or phone.

Does this cover fit over the existing steering wheel leather?

No, this is a replacement trim piece. It is designed to replace the factory-fitted leather or plastic trim on the steering wheel's spokes and rim, not to be pulled over the top of it.

Is professional installation required?

While it is possible for a skilled DIYer to install, due to the complexity of working with the airbag system and the high value of the vehicle, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety and a flawless finish.

How does dry carbon differ from wet carbon or hydro-dipping?

Dry carbon fiber is a structural material that is lighter and stronger. Wet carbon fiber uses more resin and is heavier. Hydro-dipping is merely a printed film that mimics the carbon fiber look but offers no performance benefits and is less durable.

Will this affect the heating function of my steering wheel?

This depends on the specific product. Some covers are designed to be compatible with steering wheel heating elements, while others may require modification or are not recommended for heated wheels. Always check with the supplier before purchasing.

Are there other McLaren models compatible with similar products?

Yes, similar carbon fiber interior upgrades are widely available for other McLaren models, including the 570S/GT, 600LT, 650S, 675LT, 765LT, and the McLaren GT.
