If you scroll down to the bottom you can see the two tone styles. I think this is going to be my next mod. I am tired of the rubbery rubber feel of the steering wheel. My other car is a acura with a nice leather steering wheel.

I think its a nice cheap alternative to completely changing the wheel out and plus it can be returned to factory very easily if you decide you ever sell your car. And then it can be reinstalled in your next vehicle =).

I just got mine last week and installed it. I got grey/black two tone. Took about 40 minutes to install.

Comfortable.

How hard is the install if your kinda ham fisted like me?

Bob_VT · 10-19-2008, 07:06 PM

LOL you just have to pay attention or you end up with a tangled mess. You could do it.

Installing the real leather steering wheel sounds a lot easier

But a lot more expensive

Think that grey/black two tone is the same one I've got.
Don't let the colour in the images fool you. Its a great match to the interior.

Bought direct from Wheelskins not via ebay.

Sorry, man. That is one Crappy job! I have done three of these in various cars and it is obvious you did not take your time. I would have used a leather slip on if I were you. I mean, anyone can see it looks like........well, you know.

LOl uh yeah after looking at that i dont want to purchase one now. But it does look like it was installed a little sloppy. I am sure with patience it could look a little better.
