Well finally completed wrapping the stock steering wheel in nappa leather. Nothing too fancy just some perforated leather with red stitching. It was a bitch to do but happy with the results.

Damn this is how it should have come from the factory.

Beauty. Did you make the wrap yourself or buy it from somewhere?

I bought a kit online and wrapped it myself.

Apparently they have an option for center markers as well [emoji848]
I think I might get it and have my mom sew it on lol. She can sew anything we'll see if its any different that what shes used to

Where do you seen the option to choose the full leather? I'm not sure I see an area to choose that.

Edit: Nevermind I'm dumb

The fit is good, but it's not perfect. By 2 and 10 o'clock (just over the spokes of the wheel) there is some extra material that I stuffed in as much as possible; this does mean that the silver plastic piece doesn't sit flush but is hard to notice. I think this is mainly due to the leather design not being perfect and the leather being thicker than OEM.

Do you think the fake leather would fit better since it's not as thick as real leather?

I don't know. I figured for about $50 I could scrap it if it was crap, but I like it. I have a feeling that they probably cut the same the fake and real the same way (shape) and I think that's the bigger issue. For the money I am glad I went with the real leather.

Okay cool thanks for the info, think I'm going to order the leather wrap today. My OEM is actually starting to flake off on some parts its annoying.

I just noticed it says 7-25 day how long did it take to arrive for you?
