Default can anyone recommend a two tone steering wheel cover for two tone interior/08?
Hi everyone,
I'm wanting to dress up my steering wheel with a leather cover for my two tone red and black vert. The wheelskins look nice but the "red" looks to be "torch" like and my interior "red" is more burgundy-red. Has anyone found a cover with the correct shade of red? i want a black and red steering wheel..........thanks!

What you need is cobalt red. Here is a picture of one in that color combination.

Thank You
