Eiseng DIY Car Black Genuine Leather Steering Wheel Cover for 3 Spoke 8th Honda Civic 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Interior Accessories 13.5-14.5 inches Stitch On Wrap Anti Slip (Black Thread)

My Honda wheel has been flaking apart and it was time to fix it. This wheel cover is a perfect fit, but let me tell you that if you want a professional look, you need to spend about 3 hours making it look that way. If you think you'll be done in an hour, you won't have a nice looking wheel cover and probably get frustrated. You must have patience and like me, be a bit anal to making it look good. 1. It comes with double stick tape, I used some on the main parts between the spokes, no need to use it on the "tabs" 2. Get it aligned and start by tucking in the "tabs around the wheel spokes, the provided plastic tool is great 3. Unstick the double back tape and stick down the cover to the wheel, you can pull the tape up and stick back down to get it just right, it will look bumpy, but once you start sewing it, it will tighten up. 4. Sew it up, check out youtube, there are several videos that will help build your confidence to do it 5. Enjoy a great looking steering wheel

Don't buy this cover unless you have at least 3 hours to spend putting it in. It too 2 of us to do this. One pushing the needle into the leather and the other pulling it through with channel locks. The end result is o.k. It is not as smooth as the picture is. We have a Honda 2010 Civic and it was really difficult to push the extra leather into the gaps at the 6, 3, and 9 positions. All and all this is way too hard to put on and way too time consuming.

The leather seemed to be very nice until I got the wrap sewed onto the steering wheel. The left side perferations are showing tiny tears but the right side is still good. Sewing this thing on was ridiculous. A couple areas had the stitches pull out when they were threaded together and to fix it would have required me to undo half of the area I've already sewed. So I got it to "good enough" and hopefully it lasts. The leather wrap is better than the foam coming apart on the original OEM steering wheel. So there's that...

Other than the 3-4 hours I spent sewing this onto a steering wheel, this product is great. I bought a junk wheel from a yard and disassembled it so I could see this in easily. It was still an undertaking to get this sewn on and I had every advantage possible. I would not recommend doing this to a wheel attached to the car unless you’re very flexible and skilled with a needle. Quality seems good. Time will tell in the az sun. With it installed this wheel feels brand new. Spent $80 on a junkyard wheel and the cover rather than 400+ on a brand new one. It was worth the neck pain

Like others have said, patience is key to this DIY. For a more manageable approach, I decided to remove the steering wheel. If you plan to do the same, remove the battery and disconnect the airbag 30 minutes before removal of the steering wheel. I also painted the trim to give the whole wheel a refreshed look as well as the blue Honda badge to match the blue gauges. Definitely impressed with the feel, I'm almost scared to touch the steering wheel because I'm scared to scratch it or something. The only con I have, or more of a warning is too be careful when stretching the cover over the wheel as I slightly tore the thin part of the material, luckily that goes tucked under the trim so it's not visible. The only advise I have is to buy curved needles to help with the tight spots near the spokes and to use a minimum of 2.5x of tread measuring from spoke to spoke. I made the mistake using too much and had to buy more nylon thread. Well hope this helps anyone who decides to refresh their steering wheel
