Default Redline good (pics inside)

Alright everyone after a long wait the steering wheel and some more goodies have showed up. The other goodies I won't really talk about because it's just leather pieces for the shift boot, center console, and brake.

I really want to talk about the steering wheel because To my understanding there are currently only a few out there as of now and its different than everyone else's wheel.

First off when I opened the box it smelt like new leather which is a fantastic smell! I upgraded to the Napa leather and perforated Napa leather. Overall I am beyond happy with the quality, stitching of the leather and the amount of time they took with the bolsters on the wheel. The bolsters aren't just fatter at 10 and 2 they also are formed for a nice feel for the palm of your hand overall just a great feel. I have included pics to hopefully help everyone see the quality. If you don't have one or haven't ordered one get to it the wait is definitely worth it.

Thanks Jack at Redline Goods.

On to the pics















EDIT:

Post #16










I wish I bought a steering wheel sooner but glad I waited for this one to come out because it's beyond my expectations! I upgraded to Napa leather and I highly recommend that upgrade.

Redline are leather gods, make a great product for all sorts of vehicles. Had an armrest cover and ebrake cover done for my Mazdaspeed3. Looked like OEM, but better quality and plenty of padding.

That steering wheel looks outstanding.
I have Redline products, which include leather shifter boot, handbrakes cover, center console cover and door and dash grab handle covers and they are top quality leather pieces.

Here's mine... added padding with perforated nappa leather and normal nappa leather with a red stripe and red stitching to match my Corbeau Evo X seats. I love the wheel but the super thin coating/finish on the leather is coming off where my hands stay after a year. Probably because I have ultra sweaty hands...luckily you don't really notice it.

Man that looks even better installed. I went through a little transformation with my car. New acp hood, new Caravaggio leather race seat, and the new steering wheel. It's going to feel great to drive it!

Alright so here's the update for everyone. I have spent a TON of money on this car and this upgrade is at the top if not the top. It's nice to have more power and everything but holding this steering wheel sitting in a Caravaggio seat it's a win all around. If you don't have this steering wheel order one because it makes i much more fun to drive the car and just cruise. Here are some quick pics!


EDIT PICS UPDATED TO FIRST POST AS WELL.

Finally an interior mod that makes sense!
Hopefully you won't mind when I blatantly copy your selection later...
