Default Has anyone Installed an Aftermarket Leather Steering Wheel Wrap?

Like the one above? I'm curious how it looks. I have the light gray/charcoal interior and am wanting to ad some black accents to match the leather sheets I just installed.

I have used the Wheel Skins brand on several of my vehicles but not that one.

I was going to go the wrap route but was never satisfied with the pictures I saw. They look good but definitely not OEM quality.

I ended up getting one of these:

The swap was easy and it looks great!

Wheel skins ordered off eBay. Not as good as the whole new wheel but better than the slip on ones I found

Was worried about the spokes but they went fine only issues were at the top of the wheel.

Don't worry about the airbag, it comes out with 2 bolts and then you disconnect all the electrical from it. It's pretty basic to get it off.

Here is the thread I followed:

Only took about 15 minutes to install.
