leather wheel cover
 
I just bought the honda leather cover from Hparts along with my gasket and oil rings..I put it on this afternoon and I must say its pretty DAMN sweet :yes: I'll take a pic later on and show it off.

Hand-stitched by the indigenous people of...me :D I gotta admit I messed up a few places cause it had to be drawn super tight and hit hurt my hand (I got gloves later into it) to where I couldnt pull it tight enough.

I also have to admit that it was NOT easy (not complicated but strenuous on the hands) because of how tight it has to be held at all times.

It nice huh? :yes: I had one on my Civic and it looked sweet. A lot better than those cheapy pep boys and autozone ones that you just slip on. Word to the wise to anyone that gets a Honda OEM leather steering wheel wrap...WEAR GLOVES! I didnt and it was a beeeotch to work on.

Hell ya! It isn't easy...but it is well worth it to do it yourself...Honda dealer wanted to charge me 90 dollars to do it themselves!:o

HondaTypeJ, do you have a pic of your car? I used to drive a black 95 GS-R, and from your avatar, our cars looked a lot alike. I miss that car like you wouldn't believe, but I'll buy another one soon enough, she was still unfinished, I wasn't done with her.

pdiggitydogg 02-10-2003 06:27 PM

$90!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? MY GOD WHAT A RIP OFF!:crazy: :loco:

Yea i would like to see pictures also....does the red stitch show up or just look black all the way threw. Im going to the red/black look in my car.

pdiggitydogg 02-11-2003 07:31 AM

you have to stitch it with the black almost cable like thread the first time and then in a couple of weeks if not a month or so you could restitch it with a very thick red thread. The leather has to stretch...

Ill get some pics after class...promise ;)
