Thinking of wraping my stearing wheel in alcantera.

does anyone know of a shop that can do this task 100% perfect.
I had my stearing wheel scratched..The dealer says they will repair the chatter on the wheel(light scuff) but It got me thinking of Wrapping it in Alcantera(Black) with light grey stiching.

Any help in this matter will be welcomed.

Guys I spoke with Alan Gun the leather guy and saw some of his work. WOW he said we can get a group discount if we decided to do at least 4 stearing wheels. He can wrap in C/F or factory leather or alcantera ao any combo.
I'm in anyone else

I did mine at TWS long time ago when I still had my AMG steering wheel. I think it was around $350 to wrap mine in alcantara and perforated leather. They did an excellent job.
