Default Steering wheel upgrade

I was really getting tired of looking at the wear marks on my leather steering wheel, but didn't want to go through the trouble and expense of replacing it. Decided to rewrap it using one of those leather steering wheel kits you can find at most auto parts stores. The kit only cost $15 and took over two hours to hand stitch it over my existing wheel, but I think the results are well worth the effort. Not only did it cover all those worn spots, but it thickened up the wheel and makes it a lot more comfortable, especially when palming it through a turn.

Nice. I'm sick of how worn mine is, I might do that, too.

looks really good. i just got a steering wheel cover because it has ram heads on it and a good grip. the steering wheel is too skinny for my liking, but some sort of cover makes it comfortable.

I have one like you describe. The sterring wheel on mine fells way too skinny and is all worn, so that really covers it. Plus it say Dodge on it.

I would like to find a Mopar one.
