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. |
cool. how much did u pay for it ?
|
$20
|
damn

|
:crazy: wow i forgot all about this thread :D Ill get pics tomorrow promise
|
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.

$90!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? MY GOD WHAT A RIP OFF!:crazy: :loco:
Yes again I forget to get pics....maybe tomorrow...well...does anyone care or can I skip it...we all know what a leather cover looks like stitched on... |
i don't know what a leather cover looks like...so please post a pic...hehe ;)
|
alright...guess i gotta get my ass in gear...
|
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.
|
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 ;) |
