Default Aftermarket Steering Wheels?
I would like to find a more comfortable steering wheel. One with a thicker grip. Any ideas or photos would be appreciated.

How much did it cost, and do they use your steering wheel or is it a new one?

As far as I know, they are free.

They use a stock wheel.

Search and there are a couple of threads. Gerardo and Lino are great guys at Down South Vettes and do some incredible work at a fair price.

First time I've seen that one by Raid - it looks pretty good too but looks like you have to buy their air bag too.
