Default New leather steering wheel from Redline Goods

I ordered a new steering wheel wrap from Redline Goods and finished up the wrap earlier today. I ordered the extra padding, black Nappa leather on top and bottom, black perforated Nappa leather on the sides, with Millennium Yellow stitching and center stripe. Cant wait to get this bad boy installed . My wrapping skills leave something to be desired, but overall the quality of the materials and craftsmanship is superb!

Nice, where did you get the puller legs for the steering wheel? I can't find them anywhere

I didn't. I ordered a used steering wheel from a Corvette recycler and covered that. I will take the car to the dealer and have them do the swap. I am not messing with the airbag and the puller. Besides, I already have a custom wrapped wheel on the car now that I will sell after this new one is on.

Looks good! How long did it take you to install the wrap? I bought a cover from redline but with the thumbgrips and they told me it'd be too hard to do the install myself on a wheel with thumbgrips. So they sent me a whole wheel already done.

A couple of hours. I worked on it a few nights after work. I originally ordered thumb grips as well, but they are not DIY-ready, so I cancelled the thumb grips and got the padded wheel wrap.

Yes, it is an Alpha-Nav unit.

Also got one from RL with the thumb grips. Shipped them a spare wheel and they sent it back to me all done. Took a few months but was a great job.

Highly recommended.
