One of these upgrades targets pure cosmetic personalization for your steering wheel, while the other addresses a physical comfort issue right at your feet. Deciding between them comes down to whether you want to get rid of Asetek's signature orange accents or save your socks from abrasive pedal plates.
When installing the Forte Pedal Face Plates, use precise Allen keys and avoid overtightening. Users frequently warn about a high risk of stripping the mounting screw heads during setup.
The Aluminum Button Color Kit does not include matching aluminum thumb rotaries. If you are looking for a complete metal transformation of your wheel, some plastic elements will remain.
If you want the best functional return on your money, the $39.00 Forte Pedal Face Plates are the smarter buy for sheer driving comfort. The $89.00 Aluminum Button Color Kit is a premium, well-built cosmetic luxury that is hard to justify unless you absolutely hate the stock orange look.
