Alcantara Sport Steering Wheel Wrap\Cover

Hi Guys, I was contemplating getting a new M steering wheel but after the ridiculous prices I've seen people asking. I bought the kit off of e-bay for $75 and did it my self. Took me over one hour to install but anyone can do it.
I really like it and I would do it again. Here is some pics so you guys can judge your self. I think it looks better than stock, but definitely not as good as an M Wheel. Anyway just an inexpensive alternative.

I hope you guys like it

Does it move/slide when you gently move the steering wheel?

It does not move clockwise or counter clockwise not at all, no matter how hard you try, it is on very tight.
you can move it slightly if you try to roll it i.e move the stitching to the center a bit more, but you have to put some force into it.

The stitching takes a long time, but it looks very nice if you can zoom in

Wrong section. Try putting it in pictures or cosmetic mod sections.

Thought so. Was looking at getting one myself but when i went to get it there were no listings. Good to hear that it fits well, i'll have to message and bug them to get one for myself.
