UV damage to tire led to custom wheel cover

[Kendal]

Any you guys had this problem?

I had to get a spare tire cover for my wheel that sits on the back of my 03? H2.

Started to get cracking on spare due to UV damage by Sun. Was going to buy one from the dealer, went to pick it up and saw how poorly it was made, the large dealer advertising and especially for the price of tag of $90 + local tax I decided I needed to rethink my plan.

Was complaining to girlfriend and she said have her mom?s shop make me one anyway I like. Why did I not think of this, as she owns a upholstery shop. Anyway she took a look and a few measurements and in a few days had a demo with this nice H2 inlay in it. She is used to making vantage car interiors and high end custom boat stuff. Said she had about $150 in it. I said scale it back and get it around $100. Anyway, she said she got it down to $120 for this one.

If you like let me know I will see if she wants to do any more, she said she can put most any logo on.
