Hey Guys,

I bought a JDM wheel about 2 months ago and the condition of it is almost perfect. The only flaw that I have with it is that the red threads seem to be faded. Anyone know how much it would cost to get the wheel rethreaded? And is that my only solution to my problem? Thanks guys.

 

Buy a "Red" fine tipped Sharpie Pen and color it.

 

it works^^^

Yup

 

or a red fabric marker.

 

You wouldn't be afraid to get it on the leather? Or if I would, does it rub right off?

 

I used to do the Sharpie trick when Cordillia was a show car back in 02. It wipes off the leather if you were to slip. Get used to doing it a few times a year if you drive a lot. I haven't colored in my stitches for a while and are pretty much pink/whtie right now.

 

Yes, a red fabric marker is the best thing to use, but the red Sharpie is a close second. It will need to be done every so often, especially if you do not have tinted windows.

Where would I find something like that? Please don't tell me Wallmart. I dread every single second in that place.

Well don't go to just a normal Wal-Mart, make it a Super Wal-Mart.

 

Walmart LOL. Try a fabric store. They should have quality markers there.

 

Hrm. Never thought about this one. I'll have to do that to ALL of the red stitching in the car

Just use a black sharpie on the threads.

Then you'll only have to do it once.

 

Once you color it in with a red sharpie, is the red at all diffrent from the red on the seats and boot or is the diffrence so minimal that you can barely tell??

 

If they were right next to each other I am positive that you could see a difference. Seeing how they aren't, I don't think you will be able to tell.

NOW JUST GO AND DO IT!!

Hahah, I apologize..but I spend a couple hundred on a nice steering wheel and I don't really want to mark it all up. I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from.

 

Don't worry about messing it up. The threads are already faded. You can't really make it any worse. Like it was stated, if you get some on the leather, it'll wipe off.

 

Quit being a girl and go buy a Sharpie, chief.

It'll work.
