Has anyone on here tried wrapping their steering wheel with leather? I saw a few videos on you tube and im actually thinking about trying it.

 

It's actually really hard to do right. Do you want to replace the original leather or just wrap leather over it?

 

Uh...may I ask why?

 

Yea why... isnt it already wrapped in leather o_O

 

My steering wheel is really worn down. The same thing happend in my mustang and I paid 300 bucks for a oem steering wheel with just leather wrapped over it. Plus I think it would look really sweet

 

i was kinda considering the same thing would it be cheaper to re-wrap it or jus swap it out for a new one or a wood s/w

 

it sounds like a lot of work especially restitching.. I think it's cheaper to swap it out with time taken into consideration.. There are a lot of wheels going for ~$100 in the classifieds

 

^^ I know but i dont want another used one, i kinda want a different feel to it. I dont think it would be that hard, i have a sewing machine to make the holes and needels thread, if i mess up once oh well just try again i guess. I just have to learn fuly how to do the cross stich. A family friend is an upholsterer so i might ask him for some advice and we will see.

one of my future mods, grey leather with alcantara grips with a thick pad..yum.

 

I want this black and grey steering wheel, black carpet, black and grey seats, grey suede headliner, and i want the woodgrain to be the black one that would look sweet.

 

^^ I can see why you wanna do this mod. The results look awesome two toned.

 

i want the wood steering wheel that the newer 2gs have...

 

I wonder if anyone would be willing to trade the lighter colored wood for the dark one, or am I dreaming here lol

 

Looking at that picture, I would imagine with the proper pattern cutout, its not very hard to do. As long as you stretch the material enough and use strong enough stitching... I wouldnt mind trying it myself if I had an extra wheel to mess with.

 

^^, is it hard to remove the wheel of the 2GS?
