You can see a little bit of my 87 vert's steering wheel in this pic. This is a leather lace-on Wheelskin from Corvette Central. Also notice the console cushion from Mid America.

I agree. I installed the Wheelskins on my '84--it looks a lot better now AND since it was installed over the factory leather it gives the wheel a little bit thicker grip. I found mine on eBay for about $24. Ecklers sells them as well. Well worth it! As others ahve said, take your time and follow the instructions. I think it took about an hour to do it right. As you can see in the first post, the cover comes in two tone as well as solid black.
