OK, maybe a little too excited, but got a euro wheelskins for my bd (yesterday) and had to put it on tonight. Not completely satisfied with my stitching job (my wife came out when I was on the last dozen stitches and told me what I was doing wrong - oh well). The AX size is a little small in diameter around the handgrips at 10 and 2, but the rest fit good. I'm going to get my auto interior guy to make up a leather e-brake boot the same color.

wow how much did that mod cost? i would recommend a 97+ SE wheel but this seems to be much cheaper, looks real good though, i hope u go for the blue look around the car more than jsut the ebrake, would make the wheel look better if everything else somewhat matched.

Nice job, didnt know u knit...u female

Not how much it costs, but how many rwhp it adds (at least 30).

Yeah plan to go with the "cobalt blue" theme, engine interior as well as vehicle interior. Just getting started. Eventually want to paint the car Daytona Blue (or whatever the 350Z blue is).

BTW, I bake a pretty mean cheesecake, too

Very nice. I bought my charcoal and black on Ebay. It was a from a guy in Canada. I paid around $40 bucks total. I stitched mine so tight that my fingers hurt afterwards, even the next day. Now I kind of know how those general surgeons feel after they tie all those structures on long cases.

Mine came from autoafterthoughts.com, but was a bd present, so don't know how much. However, my wife being one of the more frugal ppl I know, I'm sure it was one of the lowest prices on the net.

Yeah I put one on my previous cars and wanted it to look good so I made the stitches very tight. Man did my hands hurt for a couple days. Ended up looking really good though as does yours.

Very nice. Put up some pics when you get the boot done.

Leatherseats.com carries Wheelskins. They may be able to sell you a matching boot since they probably have a sample to match it with.

Im not liking the Wheelskin look...maybe its not my type. But I definetly want to wrap my black e-brake. I guess its one of those things that if you like it, you love it, but if you dont like it then u'll never dig it.

I think the color combinations have a lot to do with whether you like it or not, or maybe single color vs. 2-tone. I'm still adjusting to the look of the cobalt blue (a little brighter than I expected), so that could be a turn-off until I get more of the interior coordinated to that look.

I mainly wanted a leather cover as I like the way my Z steering wheel feels.

Did you paint your dash? I have some anodized blue paint I was planning to using on my valve cover (to match my cm fstb), but was thinking of painting the center console pieces as well. I noticed you didn't paint your AC control panel, I was trying to figure out how to do that myself and not cover the switch lights or the fan speed indicators.

One good thing about this wheelcover is that my hands do not slip off of my steering wheel. Sometimes that would happen if I turned with one hand.


Not anymore .
