May be ebay crap but I know my steering wheel is peeling like crazy. If you go for it, please post pics because I may be interested.

Thanks.

I ordered this will see how well this works if it's junk it's got to be better than the worn out steering wheel that's on there right now

Should have gone to PepBoys, I'd be surprised if they didn't have this cover!

it looks same as in the picture, you just got to make sure you get the right size for your steering wheel so that it sits snug.

Actually, i installed this same piece (different vendor, wasn't bought on Ebay) on my Mustang's steering wheel.

As long as you take your time and draw each loop up tight, it's a pretty good install. Like i said before, i used a different vendor, but the cover i got was real leather (smelled good) with good twine to bind it up. I can't find who it was though. Was cheap though, $20.

I got mine from wheelskins.com and i'm certainly happy with it. Installation took about an hour of tedious threading which kinda sucked, but it's been on for more than a year now and still feels great. You can custom order any color/colors you want Name:  IMG_20111014_150856.jpg

Not that you did a bad job but I don't like the way it looks. It just to lose looking in my opinion. Doesn't seem very well fitted.

They have different sizes. When i installed mine, i cut off the original covering and used this cover to replace it, rather than cover it over. That made the overall diameter smaller.

It's not a G35, so pics wouldn't give an accurate representation.

It did take me several hours to tighten up the strands. I took the steering wheel off, which was easy to do as it was not a airbag wheel.

I got mine from www.wheelskins.com

I put a Wheelskinz cover on my Dakota wheel and it fit & looked perfect, nothing like the one shown in this thread. It took way more than a hour, so that's probably the difference.
