I've heard that these wheelskins are insanely tough to put on from a few people. How much trouble am I deeling with here? I finally dyed my airbag black and now it needs leather around it

pretty easy just time consuming. make shure theres no pieces of leather "chads" or junk under the cover because it will show though the leather

it will take you a good hour to sew all the thread around it taking your time to do a good josb and pull each stitch real tight and even all the way around and center the cover on the wheel before you start...........

It took me a lot more than an hour to do my Taurus when I had it. It was close to a few. Make sure you have some time before you start it so you can finish it. It's not too difficult though. Your hands will definitely be sore the next couple of days after.

Its not to bad

Yeah they are not to bad to do... Just take your time and give yourself a couple hours... Just move slowly and do not make any decisions without thinking about it first. You will be fine they are fairly easy..

I agree, it took me a while. I started it one night, and finished the next day.
My fingers were sore from pulling continously but it looks and feels nice.
Make sure to get all the little pieces of leather out from behind and in the prepunched holes just like Nismo said, they will show and you will have small bumps under the leather.
Trust me , I know. I have one small bump that annoys me every time I see it.
