I just got my wheel recently:
D-shaped design
black perforated nappa sides with M3 grips
black alcantara top and bottom
blue stitching and blue noon stripe.
I'll post a review whenever I get around to installing it in the car.

That sounds really nice, much like JVF1's but with blue accents. Post up a picture any time you can I'd like to see this.

My order for a custom elbowpad and custom e-brake has just been processed. I hope to have it completed soon. This will be the first s2000 elbowpad and e-brake completed by Guardian Designs.

You need to contact the company and get a firm quote. The pricing is based on the options you want - leather vs. alacantara, thickness - competition vs. M3 , flat bottom vs. non-flat bottom, stitching pattern, noon-stripe vs. non-stripe, shipping etc... General pricing is around $400 US, but it all depends on what you want so get them to give you a firm price, shipping is extra. Keep in mind you are getting an entire wheel, no core charge, and you can keep your oem wheel, that's a big plus.

Is anyone else having trouble hearing back from these guys? I found the website, but it's strictly messaging and there's no phone listed. Looks fishy to me, especially if I can't get a response back. Perhaps they're no longer in business. (?) If anyone can shed light on this, it would be appreciated.

Yeah the M3 thickness adds extra padding to get the thickness, the name comes from BMW M3 since they come with thick steering wheels. The competition is thicker by adding the additional layer of leather over the oem wheel, so thicker than stock, but not as thick as the M3. I am happy with the perforated sides, I like the contrast. I'd really love an alacantara wheel but in the long term it may not hold up as well as all leather, due to sweaty hands and related dirt.
