just had my C43 steering wheel re covered..

[biomansalisbury]

hi guy i picked this steering wheel up for $40 which included the air bag too but the leather was torn and worn, so was gonna go down the normal black and white route but decided on something a little different, decided on part perforated and part alcantara, am pleased with the end result and it only cost me $350 to be re done..

i believe Alcantara leather wears out faster than factory leather.

[biomansalisbury]

I love the barter system. More Americans need to learn how to barter. People would come see my car and when I tell them asking price just walk away from it. No attempt at all to barter. even when price was listed as OBO. Sad.

[biomansalisbury]

you have to barter for everything, thats the way off life isnt it..lol.....

looks awesome! personally i love the way alcantara looks, but cant stand the way it feels on steering wheels and shift knobs! leather and wood all the way. regardless, looks like a quality job!
