the one in the cobra is starting to do that too.... its not falling apart, but there is some black adhesive that keeps seeping out of the stitching.
And I dont want the FR wheel because it wont match.

I have one with airbag from my 96. How much are these things worth anyway?

I dont have the leather wrapped one, plain V6 style, but black. Good cond. Give me yours. straight trade. I would give you mine straight up but I need something to turn the wheel w/ until I get an aftermarket setup.

well I'm tired of wiping the shit off... I hate lil nagging problems like that. And with all the other issues that cobra has I better fix the lil ones or that MFer could find itself for sale.

wouldnt be expensive to have it re-wrapped.

theres a shop rag on the driver's side floorboard and an old A-shirt in the back seat for spills, squirts, and other necessary cleanup :look:

No... but I like the 100% stock look and I'm always afraid stuff like that wont look stock.

true true and to be honest it probably wouldnt. Just because it would be newer and a slightely different material. I dont care for the stock s-197 wheels so I custom molded some thumb rests to my hands, sort of euro style then wrapped thewhole thing in black lamb skin. if you look at the reflection given of it has a slightly different cast than the stock leather. But honestly it was a nice enough mod that I dont mind. I dont really care if stuff looks completely OEM. I shoot for it to look like it could have and should have been OEM.
