I'd like my steering wheel to have the same silver stitching as the rest of the car. where can I have this done at? and is it possible to make the hand notches bigger? my wife's fusion has bigger ones than my car

My custom steering wheel installed, Pics below!!
It is finally finished and on the car and all I can say this has totally transformed the driving dynamic of my car.
I disliked the original wheels thin shape and cheap slick leather that just didnt feel sporty one bit. My wifes Jetta GLi30 has a thick flat bottom wheel which feels total bliss and i modeled my new Mustang wheel after that and an E63 AMG.
the most important elements of a sports and drivers car are the seats, steering wheel, location of pedals and shifter.
I took an original wheel, reshaped and padded and then re-wrapped with a new pattern and stitch pattern like the EURO cars.
I know this isn't a mod for anyone but if your a real driver you would appreciate this mod the first moment you hold it in your hands. its a HUGE difference.
I am willing to make anyone here a wheel if they so desire but remember it isn't cheap and its very labor intensive as this is not made in China.
PM if anyone is seriously interested. Prices will be equivalent to the Grant Air bag wheels for the S197 cars
also I have the full removal procedure to remove and install the SRS and I have two donor wheels in stock. I am making another now for a friend in Alcantara with a center stripe.
Sorry OP...I did a search and found a post from member "Mustang Collector" He did a complete re-wrap of his wheel and it came out "Bad Ass" I copy and pasted the pics but they didn't show up. Just do the search yourself. Hope this helps!
