Default Steering wheel covers.

Anyone using either of these ? My steering wheel is chafed in some areas and want to replace with wood grain look to match interior.

I thought about the wood grain, too, but it was pricey. Ended up ordering a Wheelskins cover and love it. It's a perfect match and actually makes the steering wheel a bit thicker. Keep in mind it will take an 1.0-1.5 hours to put it on but it's well worth it. Just take your time:

Saw those and they look good. What color did you get ? I have the tan interior and my wheel is kind of a gray color.

My steering wheel is a dark grey as well, and the charcoal perforated matched almost perfectly. Be sure and get the right size for the 2GS (I believe the size on Amazon says AXX). It will seem tough to get it tight around the wheel at first but take your time and it will look great when it's done.

Can you post a pic ? Thanks for the info, think I'm going to get one. Hope my sewing skills are up to the task

Here you go. You'll have to pull the string HARD but don't worry it won't break...believe me I thought it would on a couple of occasions! Oh and the most important part - it doesn't move a bit once in place.
