You'll like it. I installed mine a year ago and it still looks & feels great.

Anybody got any cheap suggestions for a King Ranch wheel? Mine is getting a little worm but I don't want to lose the King Ranch style.

That sounds like a good hint for installing!
I like the wheelskins as well. You have enough color options to make that wheel pop.

I agree, I will have to try that on the next one I put on. But seriously this is one of the easiest and best things to do for your truck. It's something you touch the most in there and really gives it a feeling of luxury. So much better!

Ahh nice! I can remember the pain in my thumb from pushing that needle after this install a few years back. I obviously suck at sewing.. Learned what a thimble is!
