Feeler: Custom Lighted Steering Wheel Covers Options

[Espo]

Basic Idea:
I'm thinking about selling some custom steering wheel covers. Turnaround will be about 10 business days before they ship after payment, considering I have to source my materials from elsewhere (they're shipped to me), and hand make these (I.E. No machinery involved). The covers will come with either clear lighted sections, red lighted sections, or blue lighted sections:




I don't have a picture of the red one, but you get the idea.

Lighting Choices:
The lights are your choice of LED 6" strips, EL Wire or 8.5" LED Strips. (Meaning mix & match, red cover, blue lights, etc. etc.) Yes, the photos are from streetglow's site...best example I could find of the materials I'll be using.

LED 6" Strips:

LED 8.5" Strips:

EL Wire:


Color Choices:
6" LED Strips:
-Green
-Blue
-Red
-Yellow
-Orange
8.5" LED Strips:
-Green
-Blue
-Red
-Purple
-White
-Amber
EL Wire:
-Coral
-Green
-Red
-Turquoise
-White
-Yellow
-Orange
Pricing Estimates:
You will be able to get any steering wheel color you like (white/blue/red) with no difference in price. The difference is what type of lighting material you decide to use. The estimates below are to anywhere in the US, and do take into consideration excess material left over, I.E. the three sections on the steering wheel cover are 8.5 inches in length, the EL Wire comes in 5 foot sections, each wheel is only using 42.5% of the material purchased, I'm only charging you for 42.5% of the material+shipping used. This is probably the cause for the high prices of the 6" LED style, I have to buy two packs in order to make one wheel cover. (Price of 2 packs*.75, using 3/4 of material purchased)

All Colors, 6" LED Strips: $70 Shipped to the US
Downgrade to 3" LEDs: $62 Shipped to the US
All Colors, 8.5" LED Strips: $55 Shipped to the US
EL Wire except Coral and Turquoise: $40 Shipped to the US
EL Wire - Coral/Turquoise: $30 Shipped to the US
EL Wire Custom Design (Curves, Zig Zag, etc.): $45 Shipped to the US

All prices are subject to change, but I'm planning on starting to produce these at these prices if enough interest forms by the first week or so of May. I'll have pictures of a prototype up as soon as my FS section things sell. If this generates enough interest along with my FS section items selling, I'll start putting these together as early as next week.

Let's start a list shall we?
