New steering wheel. I went OTT.
Decided to upgrade my wheel. I bought a used one off ebay for $75 and had it redone in alcantara. Also had it thickened.
Don't ask it was expensive.
I should get it in a few days. I will post when it is installed.

I recently looked into this from a reputable company. It's about $500.00...............
It looks like they did a good job man, congrats. This is on my list. A new wheel is $900.00+.
But be careful guys, I have seen a few horror stories from upholstery shops. It is harder to do than it looks.

Voids warranties
It probably didn't help that it was a hella-jdm civic with no power steering

That looks good, really good. That alcantara can get a different color overtime if the material is not of good quality. Hope it will be not the case with you.

i've looked into having this done and it's just too expensive.
I am going to try going the DIY way by practicing stitching first and then making a template of the leather on the wheel.
will keep posted

Gotta ask: How much? And who did it?
I just ordered an alcantera cover from RedLine Goods, and the fit was way off! Unfortunately, I'd already removed my leather cover, so now I'm left with a rubber steering wheel while these guys decide how to handle this problem. Not what I expected.
Thanks.
