Default Steering Wheel Decal Question?

I ordered a steering wheel decal from Vette Essentials 4 months ago. It was defective. I spoke to Ken, he said he had a bad batch. When he received a better batch he would send me one. Well that was 4 months ago. My question where is another good place to purchase one? Thanks.

I purchased mine at either Mid-America or Elkers.

I would just buy some hobby paint and do it myself next time.

Even though this does not sound like Ken you can get them at almost all vendors. Try and call Ken one more time. His stuff is the best
that I have seen. Hope you get things worked out. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Got mine from Mid-America but, as Morzoff said, I'd just paint it if I had to do it again!

I had a tough time getting one this spring from a forum vendor - not Ken though. I ended up getting one on Ebay. It looks great and I've had no problems with it.

I was thinking of getting one. What was wrong with the one you got that it didn't work?

I have had one from Mid America and it comes in 13 pieces. Just ordered a new one from West Coast Corvette that is one piece. Will post pictures when I get it installed. It looks really good!!

I got mine from West Coast Corvettes and really like it because it is one-piece, has the full circle in the logo and has stayed put since installation.

Not the greatest of pictures, but it will give you an idea......

I think i got mine from vette essentials it was one piece and i had no problems with it .Did you prepare before you put the decal on with denatured alcohol?You have to take your time putting it on and be very gentle doing it so it does not rip.I also have them on my door sills and the letters on my glovebox and i did not have any trouble with either.Good luck next time it will work be patient putting them on.
