No i didn`t. Still hoping to find someone that is parting out a challenger and willing to send me that small bits... i don`t want to buy 2 panels and cut them for that only. The shipping would absolutely destroy me on those

I hear you... spent about 8,5 k euro on the car, 3,5 k went to shipping. Lucky thought I didn't have to buy any sheet metal...

Would this be correct for my car? If yes, do i need to spray the middle in blue?

I wouldn't pay too much, they are pretty plentiful.....

If fact there's probably a member here taking one out of his car.....

Maybe try a want-ad here  :dunno:

I am going to toss out a wild number, anything over $150-175 might be a bit much. Not long ago on ebay was a rim blow that was not all that bad, one small crack, and it went unsold at $55. Another $100 for the center cap from a vendor and you would have a real nice driver steering wheel. I thought about it, but have two hanging on the wall for future projects and did not really want another.

Hope this gets you a starting point on what they may be worth. Hope some others will chime in too for you.   :cheers:

Those steering wheels are pretty durable and should cost anywhere from $100 - $200 for something decent. If you want a really nice one then price will be higher. I dont know if you are doing a high end build or a driver, but if you are doing a driver there are other choices like a Tuff wheel. The stock wheels are a bit on the large side so there is that. I personally run tuff wheels on all my Ebodies.

Being patient is a virtue and a friend to your wallet. Keep looking and wait for a deal! There are lots of them out there, just like Alan said. Good luck on the hunt. :cheers:
