Default Steering Wheel Decal?

Where can i find a good steering wheel decal or sticker? I have an old one on there, but the edges don't quite fit flush with the impression on the steering face and it looks like it will peel of any minute.

West Coast Corvettte, Ecklers, Mid America all have them I believe. Some even come in colors to match the color of your car. I have a Spiral Gray one that matches my color and fits perfectly in the center of the C5 emblem on the steering wheel.

Here is a kit with door sill decals, steering wheel and crash pad. These can be bought seperately also.

Vette Essentials also sells the decals. You have a lot of sources you can choose from.

You'd probably have the C5 logo imprinted backwards on your forehead. Not totally a "bad thing". You'll be a big hit at your next Corvette club function.

Seriously - it's not that hard and I have one and I'm not too worried about it.

The airbag cover is designed to separate without hitting you. The tear lines are perforated with different strengths so that it doesn't make contact.

You'll need to get that forehead tatoo done smowhere else

BTW I got my decal from VE

Absolutely go with the Cyberdine Graphics raised logos--recommend them head and shoulders over any other. I tried several, and like you, was disappointed to the point where I was just going to give up, 'cause they looked terrible.

Like other posters said, the Cyberdine stickers are fantastic--they look great, and if you didn't know better, you'd assume they were OEM. I bought the door sill stickers too--I was hesitant because I didn't think they'd hold up, given where they go, but have had no issues at all.

I was unable to get them straight from Cyberdine--their Website doesn't seem to work. I got mine from Southerncarparts--forum vendor, great service, great deal.

Default Bought the Cyberdyne Ones

I had the old decal type, but it was starting to peel up on the corners from the sun (convertible). The Cyberdyne ones look much nicer and more OEM.

I simply do not have the patience. I sent this back as soon as I got it. I'm going to order the entire package that I referenced above.

I got mine from Nate at AutoBuffs. The best decal I've every seen. Not sure if he is still doing them, but they are great.
