Just finished installing this leather steering wheel cover

[coyotefreek]

Well as the title of the thread said, I just finished installing this steering wheel cover. It is leather and extremely high quality. They quote 30min to an hour install time, it took me 3 hours. I am a perfectionest so I wasnt supprised it took me longer. I am very satisfied with the results, love the colors. Cost $40 for two toned, 35 for single color. Its available in a range of colors and you can combind them however you like, mine is two toned with Black and Burgundy. Note: Burgundy is actualy darker than the picture makes it look, very rich color with a red tone while not being bright red (also available).

Looks very good

I hope you were able to remove the wheel for the stitching.

I would not want to stitch that without making it a laptop job.

Later,

what was it you cut out of the pic?

edit: oh, that could be the box it came in... was just so white

 

[coyotefreek]

Actualy that is the instruction sheet, the flash on the camera made it a bright white.

coyotefreek,

Looks cool....
But does it make the steering wheel feel bulkier now? Did you have to remove the original layer? I thought about installing that before, but if it makes it bulkier, I don't like handling a thick steering wheel.

 

[coyotefreek]

The BMW steering wheel is the same size as the steering wheel on my Cougar. The case makes a litle bulkier but not much, the wheel is still very confortable to hold. There was no original layer on my steering wheel, just the actual wheel. I thought the BMW wheel did not come with any extra layer, BMW wheel circumference is 3 6/8" so expect it to go to 4 2/8".

I found this pic of one of these wheel skins on a BMW M3 Steering wheel. (the color is red and black)

The company also makes matching shifter boots, costs around $50 for the BMW.

Here is a pic of both, the overal look is very nice.

Here is a link to another site that sells the wheel covers and boots.

When I said they make every color combo, I mean every one. Any of their colors can be combined, take a look at that BMW wheel in the center.

Here is their color chart.

For those interested, the 2 tone steering wheel covers are also available in a perferated leather.

Looks very nice, good job man. I was thinking about doing that to my steering wheel when I had the Jetta, but I didn't have the guts for it. Good job !!

Nice looking coyotefreak, I was looking at getting a white and blue sheel skin. Looks real nice for the price. Thanks for the pics. If I could only get a matching E-brake boot.
