Default Cracked Steering Wheel

A few weeks ago I noticed my steering wheel was feeling a bit roug at the top (from about 11:00 to about 1:00). A couple of days after I started to feel small pieces of it coming off in my hand when I was making turns. I'm looking for a steering wheel cover that looks stock, no gaudy white/red/blue or anything. Preferrably something that feels stock? Maybe leather? Anyone got any ideas?

Something like this, but all black.

Get the optional equipment leather steering wheel wrap.

It's made by honda/acura, it's nice (got one on my gsr, but it came that way), and it'll cover up the damaged areas on your steering wheel.

Oh, and it's black.

Cool, got any pictures of it? Found it brand new for $48... do I need to buy the lace kit for it too? (It's only like $3). http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net

I got mine here for $22. I think it was like $30 shipped. I know it says for a Civic but it will fit for sure.

EDIT: comes with the lace kit too

Thanks

Here's the OEM leather steering wheel wrap I bought from A&H Motorsports a few years ago:

It was $38 back then.

BTW, the OEM wrap is made by a company called "Wheelskins" and the quality is top notch. If they dont' make it anymore for our cars, you can get the generic one without the 4 "cutouts" for a lot less.

Do the steering wheel wraps only come in black color? The interior of my integra is tan, and I dont know how the black wrap would look on my steering wheel.

EDIT: I just called a guy a Wheelskins, and they do make a wrap for the tan interior. However, he can only sell it to me at the MSRP of $39.95. Just want to know if anyone knows of an online dealer of wheelskins.

You can get the OEM leather steering wheels w/o airbags on ebay for 30-60 bux most of the time. There are a lot more black than tan, but....

I have never seen the kit put on that Honda sells, but I know the quality of the real ones from the factory is top notch and unless you got an A+ in sewing class it may be easier to get one and sell your old wheel.
