yes it was a lot of work, but the hard rubber has a better feel than the fiberglass one.

Simple Man 2.0:
Neils 88, thank you it was a process
I made the outer portion in foam, Then CSM, and smooth finish with filler.
The plug was made a bit smaller than needed.
Took this piece to the upholstery guy and he covered it in a pebbly vinyl.
For the center piece I had purchased it from Cory on this site.
hope that helps
Neils88:
That looks fantastic! Great job! How did you get the surface effect to match it all to the rest of the steering wheel?
Simple Man 2.0:
For the airbag cover I wanted a more OEM feel instead of fiberglass. I played around with different liquid rubbers and after quite a few prototypes I arrived at a formula.
Came up with a pretty close color match to the OEM steering wheel using a certain number of drops of black dye, a number of scoops of thickening agent and X grams of A & B. Then added liquid hard plastic to the back of the cover for rigidity.
The aluminum trim ring just needs to be welded at the ends.
A little trimming, good to go!
