Looking forward to seeing more designs...

Yes we are making one that is less aggressive. It's not flat at bottom but with the "thumb" at the upper corner. This is is much less expensive.

That job is steering wheel & airbag cover w/C4 flag logo in SuperDeluxe Alcantara w/Black Stitching. It will look very awesome when finished.


Haven't finished it yet so don't have pictures to show you.

Attached is the picture for our C5 Sport wheel. Just focus on the upper side only. It will be similar to this C5 Sport wheel. The bottom of the C4 wheel will be same as stock. Hope you guys got the idea. Just use a little imagination.

Our leather wrap airbag cover will still deploy the way it's supposed to be. Please go to our C5 or C6 Airbag Cover section to see the pictures after deployment.

That is also why we have to do "Split" logo to allow the airbag to be able to deploy through.

The job that we are making now with SuperDeluxe Alcantara w/C4 logo, we will split the logo at center then it will allow airbag to deploy through the center joint seam.

So the bottom line is you won't lose your safety.

Hi All,

Here is another picture showing the upper side. We will make the 94-96 C4 D-Type upper section similar to what shown in picture.

You can decide with or without the top ring.

I think it's cool you are making products for the C4. Not in the market for this as my car is older but cool looking anyway.

Default D steering wheel for C4

I have a 1994 with the carbon fiber trim pieces. The carbon fiber version would be a great touch. It would also help with entering and exit of the cockpit. I am very interested.

Well, if you don't go with carbon then it's much cheaper.

You get what you pay for. The wheels are very nice by comparison.

100% agree Here is some of the work they did for me many years ago. I had them hand paint the orange lettering and clear coat over the top of it. That lettering floats above the carbon fiber. My ZR-1 is my daily driver. Everybody who has seen it in person said it awesome.

No argument really. Your stuff looks fantastic. Just a perspective thing. My car needs too much fundamental stuff to be up for serious cosmetic expenditures.

Oh I get it. I could drive a newer car but I prefer my ole C4s. I have all the maintenance things handled so it was time to update the interior a little.
