You can get ahold of Chuck Pelton. He refurbs them for al of the major vendors, to NCRS standards. I don't think he does the caps though. I got a refurb one for the CE and it is perfect.

What kind of prices? I need my steering wheel redone. I don't care if it's NCRS or not, just what is cheap but good quality. And I like the stock steering wheel and not the replacement ones.

When I got one for my CE it was $250. After I sent mine back to him, he refunded $50 as a core charge. it looks perfect painted and re-wrapped and I'm very happy with it. If I would have sent it to a vendor, it would be $275 and then they have to send it out to him. If you need contact info, I think I still have it. Email or IM me :seeya
