Mine is on order. Not sure if I will use the top piece, but probably will the bottom.
Mine came in today, about a week earlier than Amazon originally stated. I dry fitted them to see what I like better, just the bottom only. Or both pieces.

I am still not sure. I don't dislike the top piece as much as I thought I would. So now I am kinda split. Pics below.

Both pieces, top and bottom installed.

One thing for sure, definitely installing the bottom piece. The piano black has got to go. Shows dust and fingerprints badly. And I already have a minor scratch in it. I don't even know how. I baby the thing. I don't even eat in my rig.

It looks really good, the only issue is the lack of matching trim elsewhere.

Yeah, agreed. Fortunately it's pretty subtle enough. I've also gotten pretty good at wrapping in vinyl. I may add more in the future to specific pieces in the cabin. But I want to be kind of light handed with it. It's a fine line between looking custom and over doing it. Like blacking out the steering wheel oval...nice and subtle change.

Funny you mention the oval - I actually hate the blue oval; it's dated, gaudy and cheap looking. I get that it's historical and all - so put one on every car, but make it SUBTLE, like inside the glove compartment. Ford has had so many better logos over the years.

Here is a photo where I am considering adding dark gray carbon fiber wrap to go with the steering wheel cover. The yellow hatched area could look really good. It appears that it is a separate bezel than the rest of the dash piece. It would be easy to wrap that.

Or I could wrap the screen (orange) instead. It wouldn't be too hard, if I can pop it out somehow. I wonder if I have to take the whole dash apart?

Or possibly I could do both. If it wouldn't be too much and look out of place. And if the two different satin fiber finishes don't look good together, I can go back and wrap the steering wheel cover in the same exact material.

Or I could use bronze wrap, to try to match the bronze in the cab. Lots of things to do. These are all easily reversible if over the top.

Reversibility is the beauty of wraps.

some people say the leather steering wheel on the mav feels cheap, do you agree?

Not really , it's not as soft as others but this makes it more durable I find .

I found the steering wheel leather too firm for my taste. Way firmer than the Active X seating material. Seemed out of place. Plus I like a little grab with my grip. It doesn't need to be uber soft and supple, but I want to feel a little something.

I have softened my steering wheel leather up a little bit using Lexol leather conditioner. Applied it every night for about 3-4 nights. Just let it soak in overnight without being touched. Worked great. Now it's just the way I like it. Feels more natural and higher quality without giving up strength and durability. Now I just use the Lexol quick touch cleaning/conditioning wipes about once a month.
