Yea i'd rather it was smooth too. or at least to include red string for the red areas or whichever color combo one has.

that way it flows a little better and doesnt look as cheezy :p

looks good mike

hmm i wonder how white and black would look?

They take me a while to put on... roughly 1.5 hours? But I'm a perfectionist with things like that.

You have the picture of mine already, it's also one of the stock photos on PFYC.com

i think it'd take me around 2 hours then lol

and yea i remember seeing your thread about it from June 2011, it looks great mike!

They also have the holes all over because the sizing is generic. Many MANY GM vehicles use the same size wheel, so they make that one size with holes all over, to fit on ANY vehicle.

I love the look of them, I also wanted one in black and red like Mikes but at the time I just couldnt bring myself to spend the money on one. I was about ready to buy one when I was at o Riellys n sad a black steering wheel cover with red stiching and grabed that for $10 instead. Its not as pretty but hey.
