Anywhere in Vancouver that i can get my Steering Wheel refinished?

I am really interested in getting my OEM s2000 steering wheel refinished with thicker leather grip (About e92 m3 wheel thickness) and a red center stripe on top.

I've shopped around and found lots of places in the states.. I'm wondering if there is anyone local that specializes in this type of work? I would be really interested in getting this done even if it costs a bit more than the shops in the states. It saves me the hassle of waiting, shipping out my wheel and what not.

there's Pacific Auto Trim on west 5th Ave, they do great work with interior and upholstery.
Might be on expensive side though, you might want to call them.

In for a group buy as well. I hate the rubbery texture of the leather on my steering wheel.

Would like to see thicker alcantara grips.

And for the record Timpo, I looked into retro-fitting a GTR wheel, the stock steering wheel is north of 1000 bucks, and then there is no guarantee once I have it that it would come even remotely close to working.

I don't know what the rules are regarding group buys on RS. They don't pop up all too often on here.

Needless to say I am willing to take the conversation over to another platform with anyone else who is serious about this.
