Default Colored Flags on Steering Wheel

I have noticed that some of you guys have colored flags on your steering wheel. I am not big into bling mods... but I like that one... it is tasteful... Is that a decal of some sort? Mine has the logo... but it is black like the rest of the wheel.

Hi George, Yes they are decals. Many of the forum vendors have them. I got mine from cyberdine graphics.com in 3D.

Are these durable?? Nothing looks worse than a decal that is flaking off or peeling...

What forum vendors sell them?. I would rather support a Forum vendor than an Ebayer (not that I have anything against buying on ebay)

I ended up getting a nice one-piece decal from Ebay.

I've tried the plain decals but the Cyberdine 3D are really nice and high quality.

Most vendors here sell the decals that can go on the steering wheel air bag. Some of the decals are multi-pieces and some are solid. Just depends on what you like.

I checked out decals on others' cars and most look tacky or are peeling off. I painted them on the wheel and the airbag cover. I used water base paint cuz I wasn't sure if petroleum based paint would eat up the material. Been on there over a year now and still holding up ok.
