This thread shouldn't be deleted unless you start talking about taking orders. 6LE started out by making threads like this and now he's one of the most active sponsors on the site.
Would you be able to wrap a Hurst Sidewinder knob (the one with the button) in black leather? I want it to look stock besides the button - I think it would look great. Seems like the hard part would be cutting the hole for the button.

There is a company that does that for Saab wheels, hence the link to the pic I put up. They take the factory wheels and do something to make them thicker and have the thumb inserts at 9 and 3.
This is what my factory wheel looks like in my Saab 9-3 and it is so comfortable to drive. If I could get the airbag and radio controls to work in my T/A I'd be buying one right now.
that looks good.... i have tan interior and want to make it all black.... and my driver seat is in desparte need of recovering.... my seat got in a fight with my dog and the seat lost.... bad.... hahaha
pitbulls and leather seat don't mix
This is what I want to have done.
Somehow, they take a plane, round wheel, and add the thumb and finger inserts and make the wheel a little thicker as well. They charge $395, but to me, it's worth it considering your hand is touching it the entire time you drive.
Let me check the price on suede, but I have a feeling if the suede is in a heavily touched area it may begin to look bad... I'm not sure.
I've been trying to find a new vendor for leather and supplies, let me see what I can come up with.
As far as making the wheel thicker, I'll have to do some experimenting on that one, and a little research...
You're definitely going to want to use Alcantara instead of regular suede. That's what Lamborghini uses on their Gallardo Superleggera and their race cars, so it definitely stands up to the abuse.
If you're going to be making a small business out of this, you're going to need to show step-by-step real photographed instructions to show how to remove the steering wheel (both the '93-'02 non-audio button one AND the '97-'02 audio button one). Someone like me wouldn't do it, for fear of the airbag going off, without really detailed instructions. And I'd say 60 to 80% of your target market for this business is the person who isn't a do-it-yourselfer who would normally know how to do this.
[/good business advice]
