Default re: Carbontastic custom steering wheels

I found a company that builds custom steering wheels upon request, for many makes and models including the Crossfire (see https://www.realcarbontastic.com/pro...paddle-shifted). But as it is quite expensive and US based (I'm in Sweden), I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this company. Is it legit? Are the products good quality? Appreciate any help!

All the best

Hi Carl,
I am wondering if it would be less expensive to take it to a local leather shop and have them make a new cover for the steering wheel.
They might be able to use a much thicker leather and match the color. It may be worth a try.
