Nice job with the stripes. Have you considered an aftermarket carbon fiber steering wheel?

I would have liked the flat black vs fake carbon but the shape is good.

Thanks, the car just needed something for the giant red hood. I got the $120 precut kit from a guy on ebay and its Ariel Sign Pro (top quality). I ordered the $106 custom wheel cover from a Texas company and I'm happy with it although it sucked sewing it on because I am surely not a seamstress.
