Default Wheelskins

Any one installed one of their covers? They look like a swingin' deal if as advertised.
Thanks----Tom

You bet we have them on both of our vette's, and we belong to a very large corvette club and all of the vette's that show have them on their cars .. they fit very well & look real sharp .. no ricer stuff there ...

:seeya :cool: :cheers:

If not installed perfectly they look tacky.

We both had factory leather steering wheels ... They do look bad if install improperly (I've only seen one done wrong) ... they were very easy to install ( a 2 on a scale of 10) - their intention is to put some color in the interior of your corvette .. all of the Z06 drivers I know have chosen the Torch Red accent to match the red in their interior's ... most of the other one's I've seen match the exterior color of their vette's.

Did you remove the original leather, or just cover it?

For the cost vs a vendor rewrap I can try three or four times before getting it right and still save $$.

You don't remove anything, just slip over your existing steering wheel & lace it up .. very easy ..
