Heres mine, I believe it came from PFYC.com , they are also available through afterthoughtsauto.com both are sponsors on your right >>>



edit: BTW I do like it alot, the quality is outstanding and I've never felt like I was grabbing onto a cheap wheel cover.

It's not an f-body....but it is a wheelskin cover. I had it on my '94 Grand Prix. Very quality product!

hey guys for the wheel skin i'm going to get one soilid color (black) what does it mean when they ask for how many Perforations, what do i want? it ask for

1)No perforations
2)Top/bottom perforated
3)Sides perforated
4)Perforated all around

(Perforations will cause the cover to have 4 seams rather than 1).

No clue where the seams would be i'm confused someone help please

Perforations are the small holes in the leather. It's just a matter of personal preference really

ok thats not bad thats kinda just protecting something with a similar color so it wont stand out, i see what your doing! I just HATE steering wheel covers, they make the steering wheel 3x as thick.

IMO steering wheel covers make the car look cheap. I hate wallmart looking modifications, so universal... A new steering wheel is the only way to go. Hope I didnt offend anyone, it's your car, do whatever makes you happy.

just playing i understand wha you mean about getting one to protect it, it usually isnt as hot as the real steering wheel is when it's been parked in the sun.
