Default Wheel Skins

So I'm going to go ahead and recommend this product, like no other. I just ordered myself a red and black wheelskin, and it is amazing. I simply love it, and it's just what I've been needing for my interior.

Get them here

It is a tiny bit pricey, and it does take a long time to put it on (an hour) but man is it worth it. So hopefully when I start to get some things painted on my interior, this will really tie everything together.

Jamie, see how badly I need my bowtie on my steering wheel painted now :P

Pardon the mess, It's been some crappy weather and I haven't been able to vacuum the carpeting yet




Here's a shot of the stitching required to put it on. It takes a while to get it to be that tight, and hurts your hand but it's worth it

I like that. I Just might buy it for mine. Seeing how we cant get custom steering wheels for our cars due to the air bag.

Red

Just gotta look for a good quality paint pen that is small enough to work in that space :P

`Mike, 3M has interior tapes that sticks 2 leather...Just an option.
Tape & a `blade-knife, would be easier to change `if U did not like. Oh `No, I messed `up like space always does

I tried to download your `pic, to photoshop it with red, but my old slow `puter is drag'in 2 day : (

Keep us updated, & of course `Pic's : )

Thanks for the concerns space. I think the tape would leave residue though wouldn't it?

I don't see why the paint pen wouldn't work (besides if i screw up, it shouldn't be hard to take off before it dries)

Not bad. I think I'd consider this option if mine every started to wear out.

i have seen those, they look pretty cool but a.) they don't have them in orange and b.) i love the one i have on mine now, it's black microfiber and it's sqwishy and soft and it's very comfortable. plus i have a Tony Stewart one that matches the car once this one starts to go down the drain. though i've had it since i got the car and it's still like new.

i'm still working on the paint pen idea. i haven't had a chance to go to michael's. i looked at autozone but they didn't have the paint pens, only spraypaint and whatnot. i'm so for that idea though. i think it'll look pretty cool. something small to make the car stand out - and cheap!! we all like cheap right??
