Leather steering wheel for Subaru WRX
The leather steering wheel in my WRX was cracked and peeling. It left little bits of black stuff on my hands every time I drove.
Overall this steering wheel cover is an improvement. It's made of leather and has a matte finish that feels soft.
The top half of the cover fit the steering wheel perfectly. But the bottom half wasn't big enough to wrap all the way around, from front to back. So there is a 1/8" gap in the seem where I stitched it together. It doesn't look great, and the stitching feels rough on my fingers.
It took me about 5 hours to stitch it together. The hardest parts were tucking it in on the back of the wheel where I can't get my hands in there, or see what I'm doing. And the string they provided kept wadding itself up into knots, which took a long time to untie, over and over again. The leather also got some small rips and tears in it, while trying to shove it underneath the steering wheel spokes. All but one of the tears ended up being hidden, so I try to forget about them, and I hope they won't get worse. One of the rips was visible, so I put some leather glue on it.
It's far from perfect, but overall it's better than it was before. I would recommend it but with caution.
