I almost ordered it the other day. I'm planning on ordering later this week. I've seen it in person on an other car and it looked great

I have it. Makes the steering wheel much fatter. Very nice, and the quality is very nice as well. The color will bleed onto whatever you use to clean it, so be careful. I do recommend it though.

Nah, What I meant was, I use a white cloth with leather cleaner, and by the time i'm done, my white cloth is yellow, and grey. Doesnt come off on the steering wheel though.

I too have it and a shift boot from them. Although I'm very new to modding the car I can say that thus far I'm very pleased with it. It's so much better than one of those generic POS's you buy from value stores. I'll see if I can throw a pic of it in here.

Hey guys i know that on their website they say specify the make and model of your car...but do you think they'll make one for a 1992 camaro?? And also would that cover look good in a tan(sand)/black color combo, being that my interior is tan.

That red colour is a little off from what it looks like too the eye. I'm not sure why but it seems to appear a little more pink and bluish than it is to the naked eye. It's not an exact match for the exterior paint of the car but it's close enough for government work.

As an aside to whomever was looking at getting these I'd also check out the Sponsor link "Parts for your Car" (PFYC) as it appears as tho they carry alot of the same for slightly cheaper. I'm currently waiting on some Neoprene seat covers, it's taking a little longer than advertised but provided it arrives shortly I can't see any reason why you would want to order from someone more expensive.
