Another Rick custom
Had this steering wheel made several weeks ago, what ya all think? also here are some pics of the caps Carter made for me several months back. I polished them at first but when I installed them in the engine bay it just didn't look right. When I get my car back I will have to see if painting them black does the trick. I'm having a shifter boot & e-brake cover being made now to match the steering wheel. When I get my stimulus money from the gov. I will have the seats done the same as well.

Re: Another Rick custom
Ricky,
I like the steering wheel. It looks classy. I think that the covers will look better black that the way they were before. I just think that shiney accessories on an LT5 stand out too much and detract from the bulk and powerful look of the engine. BTW, I was at a show today and was looking at a very nice 1996 C4 with an LT1. Beautiful car but the engine compartment just looked empty. I guess I am use the the LT5 filling all the space. Keep up the good work, I hope you get your car back soon. Jim

Re: Another Rick custom
Yes, I met them at an Atlantic City Corvette only Show. They are heavy into the C5, C6 stuff (what shop isn't) First time they did a C4 wheel. Very happy with their work and communiction skills.

Re: Another Rick custom
Rick, man you're amazing!
And the car is gonna be sick when you're dunn!  I really like the "blacked out" idea on the oil filter cover.....hummmm, you just gave me something to try out. It does stand out, kind of too much bling for me. Sorry Carter  no offense. The quality of the machine work is top shelf....it's just that it's soooo big & shinney and I think I may try the LPE paint and then do the letters flat black & the "1" gets victory red.

Re: Another Rick custom
The steering wheel looks similar to the C6 Carvaggio wheel. Very nice
