Thought you guys might like to see my new NOS purchase!

With the restoration of my GTA and trying to get it as fresh as possible I bought this NOS Trans Am GTA steering wheel and thought you guys might like to see it. This is still in it's original packaging as the workers would of seen it at the factory, original tags and stickers too. Not a single blemish on the steering wheel at all, completely mint. I almost find it a shame to take the original wrap off when it comes time to install it Here's some pictures (sorry about cell phone quality)

That looks beautiful! and you're right, it definitely is worth it to have a fresh looking steering wheel. The one I had before with all the leather stripped off of it and was such an eyesore

Yes, the wheel is very important. You see it every time you use the car! It just wouldn't be as inviting with a crappy wheel!

I used to do upholstery for a living, have done several wheels.. they are definitely labor intensive. Nos looks great man!
