Dressing Up my column
My steering column bores me and my steering wheel is cracked and broken. I have seen a billet column dress up kit in LMC that includes a flasher knob, turn signal lever, tilt lever (no tilt so wouldn't need) and a column shift knob. It looks like a nice kit, but has anyone ever used it? Also they sell a billet 4 spoke leather wrapped steering wheel that looks really sharp. Has anyone ever used that? I was thinking about the 4 spoke version. 300 bucks sounds a little steep for the wheel, so is there anywhere that would sell it cheaper? Thanks.

I got my colum dress up kit on ebay for $20 and i got my aluminum apc half leather wrapped steering wheel on ebay for $75. I would check around for better deals. I saw the $300 wheels and they dont look any different than the $75 ones.

billet
I have the billet dress up kit on my column and it looks great and is an easy install the only thing that looks a little funny is where the automatic shifter goes into the column doesnt really look finished. and i have the arp billet wheel. Happy Holidays!

I have the LMC catalog and know EXACTLY what wheel your talking about....I LOVE that wheel, but I can't justify the steep cost.
