reason i chose to have red ring and stitching is i need some contrast in the car. right now everything is black in the car... also i wanted to see what this vendor can do in terms of customization.

ah, i see
i would have thought they can do pretty much anything as long as you can pay.

i just thought that red would take the "class" away, and make it look like an aftermarket steering wheel,(as they all seam to have the centre line) as opposed to a "custom" one.
get them to hand stich a porsche crest or similar into it??

Yes you are right that as long as you pay, anything is possible. However, this vendor has very competetive pricing, so i wanted to see what the quality is like. I have not seen the directional rings on any ricers except for exotics and puring racing vehicles. The inspiration came an OEM Cayenne Transsyberia Steering in Alcantara and an Orange Ring. Since i have carbon interior, i wanted it all with the ring, alcantara, carbon, thicker body, contrast stitching and perforated leather.

It looks a lot like the MAcarbon steering wheel.
