Hi All, I'm interested in having my steering wheel wrapped in leather. Can anyone share experiences, likes and dislikes, costs, etc?
Also, if anyone has a recommendation for an upholstery shop in SoCal, I'de very much appreciate it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

If you are in San Diego, use these guys...
https://www.autobahninteriors.com/ Have not seen their work on wheel wraps, but they are a quality shop and have make beautiful carpet kits. There are good shops in LA too, but shop local! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Another happy customer of Dallas Steering Wheels... even did a thicker alcantara wheel on my F150.

I decided to do it myself and found it to be an impossible task (for me). I handed the project to my talented wife (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) and she did a fantastic job. It was a couple of years ago and the kit was about $50‐75.

I got her to cover 2 more and sold them. She vows to never touch another steering wheel unless she's driving. |

Another vote for Dallas Custom...one note - they do not repaint your spokes and if you want that done, do it before you send it off....
