Default My new Flat bottom steering wheels from Redlinegoods(With Pics)
So the stock steering wheel is junk (juste like stock seat) but we are lucky that some company make some nice wrap for them.A lot of you guys got a leather wrap from Redlinesgoods.Nice stuff at a real ,not to expensive price.So i thought about ordering one.

When i talk to Jack 2 months ago he told me that they if i wasnt in a hurry , they where gonna introduce/release a new flat bottom (kinda "D"shape) steering wheel in september/october this year.Since i wasnt in rush i order the new flat bottom one.

My option:
-Full solid black leather
-Double red stitches (to match my mod red interior)
-Upper thumbs grips
-Lower thumbs grips
-Thicker than stock

And in the same order i also took a ebrake boot,shiter boot,armrest cover(no added padding) all solid black leather with red stitches.

Received the wheel last week and did the install today.Install of the wheel is super easy(15 min job if you dont add the 30 min battery drain for safety).

The quality and craftsmanship is superbe
The touch and feeling of the new wheel is awesome and the flat part make it even better.

Jack gave me great service and again there product are perfect.

Some pics and on the last one you can see all the boots and cover

Looks good and I assume you install your air bag into it? Sadly the worst looking part of my wheel is the air bag pack so this wont really help me.

I have a full aftermarket wheel setup that I have not installed yet...looks like I may not...I have their armrest cover and boots as well, PS I stapled my arm rest cover on which allows you to stretch many of the wrinkles out! I need this wheel!

Your interior has a nice clean look. That wheel looks good with all the red.

Did you guys add foam to your arm rest? I'm in process of doing one now.

Well since it was a new release/production for them, they did all the work.You can clearly see that this is professional work.

This is a stock wheel, they wrap and modify them.In my country removing à safety device is not allowed (air bag) so this flat bottom wheel is the way to go.Look really good and thousand time better than stock.

I was worried about perforating the plastic too much with more staples (not sure if it is an issue) so I'm thinking about hot glue. Mine isn't fitting wright so I'm thinking padding might fatten it up some.
