OK I have been working on this one a while. I do not much care for the factory steering wheel in my NSX. It is too thin and too ugly.
After looking hard at aftermarket wheels, I decided they were not really for me as I want to keep my airbag and cruise control.
So I started looking into modifying the factory wheel and talked to a few people. A couple of days ago, jjrho posted a picture of his modified wheel and it looked great. I am using his picture here, I hope he does not mind
.
I contacted many manufacturers for re-covering factory wheels including leatherseats.com which everyone here is familiar with.
Roger of Americanstitches.com really answered a lot of questions for me, and I asked him about a group buy on modifying your wheel. If we get 5 members, we get this terrific price.
here is the deal. You remove your factory wheel and send in to be modded. Turnaround time is 7-10 days. You choose your options.
You can have Carbon Fiber or paint matched for the solid part, and have a choice of colors for the leather part. These prices are for part solid/part leather wheels, if you want all leather it is less money but that is not what this GP is about.
Here is a picture from JR's NSX with his carbon fiber/leather mix.
here is a picture of a color-matched wheel with leather. The color can be matched to console, car exterior, whatever you prefer.
There is an option for a center ring a la' what is coming out of Maranello these days, this is a picture of a Maserati CF wheel with the center ring.
After you choose your style, you can choose to have padding added by 1/8" wrapped all the way around or 1/16" wrap. This makes the wheel thicker and gives it a much nicer feel.
Pricing is as follows on 5 or more buys:
Steering wheel with new leather wrap (choice of color), and synthetic CF trim, 1/16" padding, $374 shipped to your door.
1/8" padding, add $20.
Substitute color matched steering wheel for CF sections, no charge.
Substitute wood (for those guys that like wood) for CF sections, no charge.
Add center Ring at top of steering wheel, $100.
50% deposit required, balance charged when wheel is shipped.
I don't have a time limit or anything for this GP yet, Roger can set that. I am just trying to gauge interest.
Are you interested? Please post.
Guys this is truly an exceptional price. I have shopped around, I know.
