[Shotimes] 1995 MarkVIII Steering Wheel

[Ian Fisher]

VHT vinyl dye works well on (well duh) vinyl. I
wouldn't use it on anything that sees common wear
areas as Ron suggested. It does work great on the
dashboard though.

I played around with it in my car. I ended up
replacing every single item with the real deal from
various parts cars except for the dash. My dash is
completely dyed and it looks stock.
