Default Steering Wheel Decal

I'm looking to add a bit of color to my interior and thought a steering wheel decal would look good.

Any suggestions on where to get one? Your experiences with this?

TIA.

I got mine from West Coast Corvettes and really like it because it is the full emblem, looks great, has stayed in place and seems to be lasting well.

Picked up mine locally from Corvettes of Dallas, Jeff is a good guy there. Got the 10 peice decal as I wanted to keep the black on black theme (see "My Corvette Photo's" link) and have a similar logo look on floor mats and door-sill. Must say despite all the nay sayers stating that decals won't stick on the steering wheel I've been very pleased with mine.

I got mine about three years ago from Corvette Accessories Unlimited and it has held up exceptionally well. No peeling at all. Many other forum vendors also sell these - Vette Essentials, Mid-America, Ecklers, WCC. I think the steering wheel decal is a nice addition to the interior.

i have the same one as AFVETTE. i got it for christmas and just installed it last week. i think it's from WCC. i have issue with the application, though. mine came with a heavy, translucent material backing. the backing made it very difficult to properly align the sticker as i applied the heat to warm the adheasive. i'm a little disappointed with mine because it is slightly off center (probably only enough that my **** retentive self will notice) but it's now firmly adheared so i'm stuck with it.
i also got the stickers for the rocker panel emblems. i discovered it was significantly easier to align these by trimming the backing to the edge of the flag tips prior to applying to the rocker.
if you get the sticker and it has the overlapping backing material, i recommend you trim away the backing material right to the tip of the flags to make alignment easier.

Default steering wheel decal

very important to have a precise hand when doing these especially if you also put on dash letters,they were horrible for my wife and she is a perfectionist.
