Steering wheel modification is one of the most effective ways to give your car’s interior a personal touch, enhance driving comfort, and improve ergonomics. It’s not just about looks – it’s about tailoring your vehicle to your style. At Control Customs, we perform daily custom steering wheel projects for car enthusiasts who want more than the standard design.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of how professional steering wheel modification works and what’s possible.
1. Consultation and Design
Everything starts with a conversation – we get to know your expectations, driving habits, and aesthetic preferences. During this phase, we select:
- materials (leather, Alcantara, carbon, perforated leather),
- thread color, stitching style, center markers,
- add-ons: flat bottom, thicker grip, LED strip, F1-style paddles, heating, etc.
We prepare a visual mock-up or use previous projects as inspiration.
2. Disassembly and Preparation
We begin by disassembling the old steering wheel (or receiving it from the customer). The original covering is removed, and we thoroughly inspect the core to ensure it is structurally sound and safe to modify.
3. Shaping and Custom Sculpting
This stage includes:
- adding ergonomic hand grips,
- flattening the bottom section,
- reshaping the top part,
- installing carbon fiber inserts.
This is where the steering wheel starts to take on a new, personalized form.
4. Wrapping and Finishing Touches
The selected materials are hand-stitched according to the design:
- tight, seamless leather or Alcantara wrapping,
- precise stitching in chosen color,
- center marker, custom logos, or LED light installation.
Craftsmanship is crucial – precision and durability are everything.
5. OEM Parts Integration
After wrapping, we reassemble the following:
- functional buttons,
- airbag unit,
- paddle shifters,
- heating (if applicable).
We ensure OEM functionality is fully retained – nothing is lost.
6. Quality Control and Delivery
Each steering wheel goes through strict quality checks:
- fit and finish,
- stitching symmetry,
- electronic components testing.
Then it’s shipped to the client or installed in our workshop.
