yea. the original leather on the wheel was pretty Fed up so I made my own. Wheelskin didn't have what I wanted and they costed more too. I still have enough leather to make 3-4 more wheels.

Hmm...it looks like it was done well, but it also strikes me like a wheel cover since it doesn't match the gray color of the inner part.

Re: my new steering wheel :-) (Regal)

stitching looks better than the nardGAY one

are you going to spray your center a black, to match, and possible paint the H red, itr style

Yea.. I was debating over thick or thin. I have never seen a real red stitched wheel up close so I tried my best to ball park it. I was deciding 2 thread layer, or 4 layers, and I went with the 4 for strength. if i end up doing the boot, it will definitely be 2. thank you.

i don't know about making it darker yet. I am bias against painting interior parts that are exposed to a lot of rubbing and other contact, so I'll probably leave it alone. I will however try to clean up the airbag. i might bring out a deeper shade to it.

Not bad, only if you could get the center to match with suede, still unique though and looks great with the interior.

Re: (slaberdy)

You should definitely mask off the wrap and spray the wheel with a black interior dye, it would look 10x better imo. People seem to be having good experiences with that stuff looking just like OEM and not wearing, which is a plus especially since those are very low contact parts of the interior.
