One more I just finished, this one thickened, covered in alcantara, flat bottom, and blue and white stitching. This one took longer than I expected especially due to slightly thicker stitching I used...holy **** was that a pain
. Anyways hope the owner enjoys it and will chime in with installed pics:

So I decided to make one more alcantara steering wheel for another member on the forums. This time all black alcantara with yellow stitching. Maybe he'll chime in with installed pics. Here's a few pics.

I do know that alcantara comes in a slew of colors, but I haven't attempted one other than black. I suppose if you could find an off-white color that matches the willow nicelly, then sure I don't see why not. Off white with either black or red stitching...that might look pretty good.

^^^^ That Porsche steering wheel is exactly what got me going with the stripe ![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
So I was thinking some more about this and just ordered an old willow steering wheel of ebay. I'll see if I can match the color to some samples of Alcantara when I get it. Who knows
might be onto something here.
