Leather Wrap Instructions from Honda are in description. Also I've has some comments saying its not worth it to do this. Honestly this is one of the best things I've done to my car, after doing it you will agree and the best part is that get to enjoy it literally every time you drive. I would never go back to the stock look and you won't either
I'm going to get a wrap for my wheel but Honda currently wants $95 plus tax for this & then the added cost of the red thread. I'm going to try the China cheap version that claims to be real leather & comes with red thread. I did end up getting the "fake" carbon fiber steering wheel cover & while the real CF you have looks better, even the cheap fake carbon is substantially better than the silver plastic & it fit surprisingly well. For the $14.00 usd & free shipping I spent on eBay, it was worth the 1.5 week wait, it even comes with extra 3M tape.
Yeah even the fake CF one looks so much better. I haven't had as much luck with the leather wraps from ebay though. The Honda one is really nice so if the cheap one is bad then the $95 is worth it imo
Just got my cf trim for steering wheel I wasn't aware at the time but just know that if you have the buttons for navigation you will have to customize it
Its crazy how you wore out your steering wheel at the top. A whole layer was gone. You should have filled the gap with something before you wrapped it. You can see ans probably feel it under the new wrap
haha yeah I bought the car with the wheel like that, but someone had some acid hands. I shaved down the edges of it to make it smooth and thought about filling it but I didn't. Its not very noticeable driving because its smooth but its noticeable in videos. I would put something there if I redid it
@@JasonMcMullen my friens non leather steering wheel is flaking away like crazy. Whats with the acid hands. Some peoples hand even corrode their aluminum macbooks.
@@hectorlopez7223 you could use a putty that turns semi solid after it cures. Or a silicone then smooth out before it dries. Or some other liquid filler that can be sanded down.
I didn't, the original owner of the car had seat covers on the seats for the entire time they had they car and so when I took them off the seats looked brand new
I tried installing that carbon piece over the steering wheel cover like you did but the right side of the cover doesn’t snap in and it’s blocking the cruise control buttons.
nice vids, i subscribed today. very informative. question: hondapartsnow says the OEM leather cover is compatible with other civics but not Si's? I believe maybe because the Si's come already with leather. I have an 06 civic si coupe. Will I have to remove the existing leather somehow
Should be fine for 06 Si coupe, that what I have too. That's weird that it says that, usually hondapartsnow is pretty accurate. Thanks for the kind words bro! I really appreciate it. I'm gonna try to put out more videos this year
@@eckonycsk8er man that kind of encouragement really helps! Can't thank you enough. I got a valve cover DIY and fuel rail/injectors DIY coming soon, and more after that. Pretty sure I'm gonna do a 1,000 sub giveaway too so hopefully you win buddy. Thanks again!
Well I love the Invidia N1 exhaust, and probably go with the Skunk2 alpha header then tell the tuner to run as much VTC advance as possible. Not sure about a lion but that thing will have some roar
@@JasonMcMullen Yeah I’m not a fan of the suede feel though. I really like your route but I noticed that some of the original wheel is still exposed. Does it bother you feel wise or visually?
@@jacebrooklyn yeah I'm with you, I dont like the suede feel either. In my opinion the Honda wrap does a pretty good job but yeah a few parts are not completely covered. When driving its not noticeable to me. Also the tighter you pull the thread the better because thee wrap will stretch a little over time, and the coverage will be a tad better. Once I put the wrap and carbon trim on I honestly could never go back to the normal wheel haha, but up to you
Lol no red sharpie I would never do that, they are mechanics gloves not racing gloves. And its not rice, its not like vinyl carbon or something. Anyway thanks for commenting 🤙

Thanks so much bro!
Just got my cf trim for steering wheel I wasn't aware at the time but just know that if you have the buttons for navigation you will have to customize it
Oh interesting I didn’t know that. I’ll put that info in the description, thanks
What sort of change/how? I have nav and am not sure if this carbon fiber trim will fit.
I just got a heat gun and slowly made it work
Yes l need somewhat am lazy specially on long trips
how come no one ever takes off the oem steering wheel wrap before wrapping it with new material?
Its a overlay honda accessory

@@MrRahimhosein lol exactly bro, crazy
Currently in the same situation. What would you use to cover the damage before installing the new cover?
@@hectorlopez7223 you could use a putty that turns semi solid after it cures. Or a silicone then smooth out before it dries. Or some other liquid filler that can be sanded down.
Bad ass man
Faith Flores much appreciated! 🙏
Have blessed weekend 🙏
Did you dye your seat si logo ? It is not faded like everyone’s
I didn't, the original owner of the car had seat covers on the seats for the entire time they had they car and so when I took them off the seats looked brand new
I tried installing that carbon piece over the steering wheel cover like you did but the right side of the cover doesn’t snap in and it’s blocking the cruise control buttons.
I had to sand mine down quite a bit to get it to fit, do you think that would help?
@@JasonMcMullen What if it doesn’t work though? I tried contacting Hardmotion three times but they’re not responding.
Nice job ! :-)
Thank you so much!

another question: if I order from hondapartsnow, they include the tools and instructions?
Should be fine for 06 Si coupe, that what I have too. That's weird that it says that, usually hondapartsnow is pretty accurate. Thanks for the kind words bro! I really appreciate it. I'm gonna try to put out more videos this year
Oh and it should just go over it, no need to remove anything
@@JasonMcMullen thanks man! please more of those DIY videos, some of the best i've come across. You're gonna go big if u stay consistent

Where did you get the carbon cover I was looking at some on ebay but it doesn't say if it's real or not? thanks
What should I do about the trim if my steering wheel has the phone call buttons?
Will this not fit the sedan steering wheel? Aren't they the same? Its saying its not co.patible with 07 si sedans.
Noob Implants as far as I know they are the same, not sure why it’s listed as (2door)
Bro what exhaust or anything would you recommend to get the civic to sound a bit like a lion
Well I love the Invidia N1 exhaust, and probably go with the Skunk2 alpha header then tell the tuner to run as much VTC advance as possible. Not sure about a lion but that thing will have some roar
Where can you get the red steering wheel badge?

@@JasonMcMullen thanks 👍
What model# is the Sony stereo i like
thanks, its a WX-900BT
may i know where did u ordered the CF cover from
tnx
the link on ebay is gone now, but try to find a nice one on there. Hardmotion also sells them but sometimes they are out of stock
Is there only a black option? Or is there grey too?
The wrap is black only from honda. There are aftermarket grey alcantara wraps available online buy I'm not sure how good the quality is

@@JasonMcMullen That makes me feel better.. Thank a lot dude!
@@jacebrooklyn Right on brother Jace. I hope it turns out nice for you!
Is that a real CF one?
Yes it’s real carbon fiber, but it has a plastic mould under the carbon. It’s very difficult to make the right CF shape without a plastic backing
@@JasonMcMullen thanks!
@@remi009340 hope it turns out well for you
Seriously?
Wearing racing gloves.. 😂😂😂😂
Fake carbon 😂 is rice AF
You also obviously took a red sharpie marker to your 'Si' seat inserts haha
Lol no red sharpie I would never do that, they are mechanics gloves not racing gloves. And its not rice, its not like vinyl carbon or something. Anyway thanks for commenting 🤙
Looks awesome bro
Noah Jesse Thanks bro!!
