Steering Wheel Cover

Being as paranoid as I am afraid i will peel the leather on the steering wheel, got myself a Wheelskin... This leather is much higher quality than what Honda put on its much softer and the grip is better..

what do u guys think?

it can be a pain, especially in the beginning.... just make sure u dont make any mistakes going through the holes or else u have to do it all over again....

Also pull hard and make every stitch tight as you can or else there will be loose spots, and the string tends to tangle a bit so beware.

if you have patience it should be no problem

doesn't the honda leather come off? So if I remove the leather, its the same as the base fit's steering wheel?

This is funny because just yesterday I scrached my leather steering wheel with my zipper as I got in. Huge scratch... I might need a fix if I can't smooth it out a little more.

No it is not designed to be removed...Base wheel and Sport wheel are different ...
