Here is an email I received from Wheelskins...

Hi Mike,

The Size that fits the Ford Contour is SIZE C. We could offer a group price
for 10 or more at $33.03 each, for any color original Wheelskin. Please
contact me and I will facilitate your order. We can also send the actual
leather color samples so that you could see which colors would be best.

HA! Screw their offer... I just found a middle man supplier that can sell us the original Wheelskin cover for $28.95 before I even asked them about a Group purchase! I'll update you guys as I find out more!
 
I got a KILLER price! I'm just going to start a new thread so it's not jumbled... I started one HERE

Sorry guys I have been very busy with a number of things and the holidays... I still haven't found the exact match for the leather... Leather ones are not out of the question for any one wanting a stock replacement leather cover with stitching similar to factory steering wheel...

I will try to get this going hopefully within 2 weeks time ;)
 
I put my name in on the other GB cuz I thought this one fizzled. Nima, if your leather match seems to be a better match than the other one, then I will come back. I'll have to see yours first to make up my mind.

I started the other one for the same reason :shrug:

However for that price and what they have to offer its going to be hard to beat. I already ordered the leather swatches to compare for myself I would suggest everyone else do the same to see how it matches on your own interior. Don over at DC CarCare is giving us one helluva a deal.
 
absolutley the new GB is a killer deal, no doubt. But I'm of the type that likes it to look exactly like stock and will pay a higher price for what in my opinion is a better quality replacement simply because it would look just like stock instead of a condom. No offense.

Well ask Wheelskin Inc for a free set of leather swatch samples and see how it matches up for yourself I guess... I didn't think the blue was that far off where it would be noticeable :shrug:
 
I wasn't talking about color though, I was talking about the fit and finish aspect, the way it looks. Granted, wheelskins are the best looking aftermarket options for wheel covers that i have ever seen, but my point was directed at the difference between a "cover" and a "replacement". I would pay more for a "replacement" option to keep the stock look because that is important to me.
 
I don't want a cover to cover the cover. I want to replace the original cover. I think that the original looks really nice and the pictures of the wheelskins look bulky and an ill formed after thought.:shrug:

Maybe I should go find a wheel at the wrecking yard and see if I can remove the cover and recut a new one. Does anyone know where to buy pre-died leather?
