Default New Steering Wheel

Hey guys,

I did not have time to do any work at all on my own car this past year. So in an effort to have something new to show at SITM, Linda finally completed a project she as been working on since last year.
It was supposed to be one of my Christmas presents, but like I said, our own stuff is way at the bottom of the list

So, here it is, my brand new steering wheel:





I tried something new with this, since Linda came up with such a nice piece: the hub cover.
I would love our resident expert Nicole to confirm if she can, but I don't think that Porsche ever even offered this:




Thank you for looking

Paul

Hopefully those nubs will help your grip on the dragon!

WOW! That work is world-class. Gotta feel a little weird on the hands driving with those ostrich pimple thingies though.

Actually Ostrich is extremely soft and very pleasing to the touch.

Very long lasting and tough as well.

Schweet!
It's like those mini messaging nubs on a first class leather custom wheel.

I think there's some guy with a custom interior that the ostrich wheel will go well in.

Wow, that is really top notch.

Any way of adding one of those Gold Porsche crests to my Champagne wheel? It already has the engraved crest which may be too big?

I would have to make you a new horn pad cover, but that's not a big deal.
The crest itself is kind of expensive though.

Ed,

if you are referring to the Ostrich, my supplier carries hides in about 25 colors, but one hide is between $400.00 and $500.00
That comes to about $25 a square foot depending on grade.

So basically, if you have enough projects to use most of a full hide, than no problem, I will work with you to get exactly the color you want.

In cases like this, I just add to my regular price, the difference between the exotic leather and the regular leather.

Thats pure sex. I like how you light the steering wheel like a playboy model.

Just when I think I've convinced myself that I don't need your luxurious leather, you show me this.
