Wheelskin

I just finished installing & I must say that it looks GREAT.
I was skeptical at first seeing pictures & figured if I don't like it, it's only like $30.00

Wheel is a bit thicker now & fits better in the hands.
Install took a bit over 2 hours but it was well worth it.
For those with worn out leather steering wheels, I highly recommend this product.

- Jay

it's not hard at all. just time consuming.
I did half the wheel & decided to do everything all over again because I didn't like it in a couple spots. second time around, it came out perfectly.

Thanks. It's only got a bit over 60K miles now. 3.0l engine is a beast here in Europe & I kill most of the cars I see on the roads here. Although the TurboDiesels with Chips are catching up quite quickly nowadays.

Pics look good...

The black matches nicely... the tan wheelskin doesn't match quite as nicely (on the tan interiors)... thats why I'm torn about doing this, even though my wheel looks like sh*t right now - the leather is peeling and has gotten progressively worse since I've had to wear that *bling bling* on my ring finger

yes, when i put that ring on the finger is when the wheel was totally destroyed (LOL) . . . I'm a bit more careful now on turns.

Looks a little odd for me but seems like it'll feel hella better than before.
