you guys know of any tricks to fix a steering wheel where the leather has been worn and discolored? any options instead of doing a whole leather wheel transplant? any leather products? good steering wheel covers that will look close to factory? thanks!

 

Thread that contains all the information to solve your problem

This is what Manaray wrote down the bottom of the thread:

"Also, the prices are I post are for CLUB LEXUS PAID MEMBERS ONLY....here is the break down...

ClubLexus PAID Members:
3-Spoke Wheel - $384
4-Spoke Wheel - $350 (unless I can get 6+ buyers which will make the price $330)

ClubLexus NON-Paid Members:
3-Spoke Wheel - $414
4-Spoke Wheel - $380 (6+ NON-Paid Members will make it $360)

Lurkers (Non-Members):
3-spoke Wheel - $434
4-Spoke Wheel - $400 (Flat, no quantity discounts PERIOD.)

If you don’t like those prices, you can pay $589 and $499 directly to them…I don’t want to hear ANY b!tching about these prices. IT PAYS TO BE A PAID MEMBER. Paid members didn’t pay for nothing.

If you have a problem with this, PM me....I'm NOT doing this to make a killing...you guys would LAUGH if you saw what the profit margin was...and all profits will go towards future ClubLexus events, not into my pocket...as for the price increase for non-paid members, sorry, but paid members get priority as it should be. NO ONE should have an issue with that."

Good luck.

Ditto-

Ikon, let us know how you did it.

 

sorry to bug you but I did a search under steering wheel repair but did not produce the desired result. Please help.

 

Man, 400 bucks for a new steering wheel?...Does anyone know a cheap way to fix a worn part / re-wrap?
Thx-

 

400 bucks is an awesome price for the quality REAL WOOD wheel you get. Not no Wal-Mart Plastic wood thing steering wheel cover.

My suggestion if you want to spend no more than $30 is to go to auto specialty stores in your area and find a leather steering wheel wrap. The more expensive, the better. I'll take pics of my father's re-done SC 400 wheel. It took me 6 months, but I found a light green leather steering wheel cover to match the interior perfectly. He took his time threading it and it looks stock and perfect.

 

J.C.Whitney has leather covers that'd wrap over the old nasty wheel pretty quickly.
Either that or you could do what Ikon did.
I was going to try and lightly sand off the crusty stuff from mine,then spray on some leather/vinyl dye,since I'd rather have a black wheel anyways.

 

uh...$400 includes REAL wood (unlike the plastic wood in Honda/Acuras) and new leather. If you just want new leather, it costs only like $250 or so...unless you want to buy a new one from Lexus for $700.
