steering wheel recover

The only complaint I have on my interior is the steering wheel. PO put one of those black ugly cheap ones that stretch over the wheel. It makes the wheel too fat and ugly. I have seen ads for a new leather covering called katzskin, it requires a good deal of sewing thread through prepunched holes, the pictures look good. They sell for about $30.00. Mine is slate gray, has anyone used this product?

I have used Wheelskins (I think) Sounds like what Richard refers to. They are ok for the money. I kind of enjoy putting them on. Hands are sore afterwords though.

Not sure what brand mine is( probably Wheelskins ), but I just stuck one on my wheel of the '89. I like it. It does make the wheel fatter. Maybe if I did it again, I would remove the old skin, (which I didn't do) . It is fatter but feels good. Took me 2 hours for the project. I did mess up a few times including dropping the needle down the console area (lost). Try to keep the twine untangled when stitching. I would highly recommend the product I used. I am up in Deerfield Beach, if you want to see mine.
