Re-covered Steering Wheels

[Adz2332]

Hi,

I have a 95 GTR r33.

Looking at getting the wheel re-covered...

Not sure wheather to recover the whole thing, or just the air bag part or just the outside parts...

Can people post pics of what they have had done for some ideas...

cheers!

^^ as above i'd love to see too.

Btw, Adam at one stage CarToys (Hindmarsh) did recovering, they looked pretty good.

i just got mine done last week in leather, looks soo much better than the chewed up old vinyl that came as factory.

ill post a pic up soon

[Howie]

Awesome.. can't wait to see. What'd that set you back?

[Sambo33]

i just went outside and got a pic, the outside is redone in leather but the bit in the middle is still factory.

cost me 260, but they did an awesome job.

That looks pretty sweet bro. Did you have to take off the steering wheel yourself and leave that with them? Which company did you use?

might get a quote from them cheers.

And mate that does look great! did they do it with wheel on or off? Who did it?

Also with an airbag wheel, whats the go covering the centre part? Can it be done, or more to the point should it be done???

I would be interested would anyone else be?

[Howie]

Keen but gotta wait till i get my car remapped before I can afford it lol

U would'nt be able to get the airbag module recovered as it is made of special material that folds open when the airbag deploys. i would suggest trying armoural on the airbag or failing that maybe even try shoe polish.

As for the wheel, reckon red stitching would look nice

im pretty sure my mates company has the fabric for airbags, i'll have a chat to him about it
