Adding style and protection to our steering wheels

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Wheelskins leather wheel coversThe steering wheel is one of the most important parts which can aid you in being more comfortable. Since at least one of your hands is on the wheel at all times, you need to make sure it’s as comfortable as can be. I was quite content with both my truck and my car, but after finding some fingernail imprints, scratches and discoloration on the wheels I decided to go for a steering wheel cover anyway.

Wheelskins Steering Wheel Covers offer hand crafted leather wheel goodness, you and your steering wheel will feel right at home. They come in 15 colors, for a quick preview just take a look at the site and click on the colors. This means that whatever color your car and your interior is you will find a model suited to your taste.

If you want to play it safe I believe the sand colored one will blend into most light colored interiors and the charcoal one will go well with most dark interiors. You will need to spend some time with installation, but everything’s included in there. It might seem a bit stupiud to spend near an hour installing a wheel cover, but that’s exactly why this is a quality model.

You couold buy rubberized materials which just slide on, but we’re talking about real leather here, you can’t just force it on. The included nylon thread and leather needle will make the job a cinch and well worht the time, since you get a perfect fit for your wheel.

Add some shift changing style to your truck

Momo Shift So far most products I’ve shown you have been either under the hood, external eye-candy, or some tool or another. Today, let’s put some sparkle into the truck cab, which we have left largely untouched until now. In reality, I hate any sparkling stuff with me when I’m driving. I usually like the smooth, clean lines that designers give to interiors, but small touches, like the Momo Automatic Shift Knobs bring extra style indoors.

Weather you prefer the sport racing style brushed aluminum, or the classy black leather Momo presents you with top notch quality stuff. The price may be a bit steep, $115 for a shift knob, but if you want some style indoors, it’s a small price to pay. I like my environment to be just so, especially when driving, and if I need to spend a bit over a hundred bucks, then so be it.

In the end, there’s not much I can really say here, it’s a lump of metal. In the end, if you get right down to it, so is your truck. Similarly to your truck, what makes the Momo shift know so great is the attention to detail, the well built quality and style it radiates. I would go for this addition to my truck anytime, if you have a shift without a D3/OD switch, you can do the same too!
