why dont u do something crazy like........upgrade ur interior to suede! (j/k that cost waaaaay too much) but a 2tone steering wheel would look nice, only problem i see is choosing another color. im just too picky about stuff like that, it would take me 4ever to decide.

Same here. I'm getting a custom leather interior later this year, and was considering two-tone. But I don't know what will go with my car? I've got a Frost interior, with the Frost leather on the center console and shift ****. Then I got a Black leather steering wheel and shifter boot. So I was thinking maybe a charcoal with "frost" or lighter gray inserts?

you see thats my problem, the combos that u can throw in there are endless, and by the time i decide one looks good ill change my mind and think the other one looks better. then ill go in the total opposite direction and ill end up confusing myself even more. i dont know were to start so im just gonna leave mine alone for the time being (maybe a shift ***) it less of a headache.

Im not sure if mine is that brand but I bought a Leather wheel wrap a year or so ago. It was like 20+ at an automotive parts store. My oppinion is mixed about it. First it didn't fit perfect I bought the larger diameter size but it still left a little gap on some parts of the wheel. Second it was a pain in the ***, it takes a long time. And finally after a year or so of hot and humid florida weather the leather is starting to deteriorate a little on the high ware spots. It comes across as obvously non OEM quality if you have driven a few cars with factory leather steering wheels. Also where the spokes are on the wheel doesnt look that good, b/c its not totaly custom fit for the contours of the wheel. BUT, It does feel good which was the main readon I bought it. If you have the stock plastic wheel its a huge improvement. It also thickens up the feel of the wheel a noticible amount, which I liked a lot. My stiching came undone in one part and it had really fused to the wheel from baking in the sun, so I wouldnt plan on talking it off ever if you have it on for a long time. I tried both ways of stiching it. The method where it has a V pattern that overlaps and just the simple loop style. The V style takes a lot longer and you need to use 2 needles. The loop method is a lot easier, and I found it closes tighter but it doesnt have the look of how OEM wheels are stiched
