I wraped my steering wheel with leather

[HarryLui]

Definitely not prefect, but for $11 in material, it sure feels great in my hands.

Agreed. Bet it's way more comfortable than the old material.

Ehhh, once summer rolls around you might reconsider the leather option. But it does look better than I was expecting.

What car is that?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

What car is that?

Well, assuming the steering wheel is correct, Honda SRS.

Why? I've had leather wheels for the last decade and it's way better than plastic any day of the year.

Sorry, car is a 2000 Honda Insight.

I'm lazy, and got one of those stretch-on covers at the auto parts store. Nice job though.

In Arizona?

 

[SmokinWaffle]

In Arizona?

Or anywhere with sun.

 

[NutBucket]

Either is going to be hot!

I'm in SoCal... we get enough sun for my opinion to be valid

I see, I really like it. Very logical and Honda-like. The last of the golden-era Hondas, they don't make them like that anymore.

 

[DaTT]

Turned out quite nice!

 

[C1]

Wow ! That looks like a lot of work in not so easy to get at places too.

In my 15 years of driving in AZ, nothing burns the hands quite like black leather steering wheels. It's not just the sun, it's the heat too.

I saw the first picture and was like "man that looks really clean!" and then scrolled down.

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Please for the love of God fix the thread title. I don't need to hear how you raped your steering wheel.

How about the hot metal seat buckle? In the summer, exposed to the sun, I believe that I hear the sizzling of skin when i put it on.

Good point, but that a quick sizzle and then some regret. The steering wheel is the gift that keeps on giving the whole way to your destination.
