I was wanting to put a restored stock steering wheel back on my car...a leather slightly padded wheel like the RS. The picture below is from an outfit in Dallas that just quoted me a price of $399. I thought for sure I heard or read somewhere the price from this outfit was around $300??
Anyone buy from them...if so are you happy with the workmanship? Any other vendors that people have used? I know I could do it myself with a kit, but I want it too look professionally done. Thanks |

I bought the leather kit here http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/agla_914et.htm for 65$ and did the stitching myself. The holes are already bored in the leather, the needle and the thread is also provided. Its about an hour job and you have the satisfaction to have done it yourself. 1 quick hi-jack question. Did you use the thread they provided ? I thought it was a bit too thin. So I have postponed my re-wrap project in my quest to getting thicker thread. Thank you |

Thank you Worked fine for me, but the thread is too short if you want to make a double stitching. |
