Very informative video, you explained the process clearly and made me want to try this, and I’ve also never stitched anything other than a waist button onto some chinos. Well done!!
Man you must be a mind reader because I’ve been thinking about doing this. My biggest concern is how well the suade holds up over time. Report back after a year or so and let us know if the material is showing any wear.
RMutt1 will do man! To be honest though, this should hold up extremely well with how thick the suede is. I can’t imagine it showing wear within a year or two
I have a cheap wrap on my Ford Fiesta made from a micro suede type material and it’s been great for the 2-3 months I’ve had it on so far, it bobbles up a little in the first few weeks but it smooths out again pretty quick, I love the material but my biggest issue with my own wrap is that I didn’t use any double sided tape so it does move very slightly although it’s not noticeable when driving. Much better than the 16 year old leather it’s covering regardless 👌🏻
RMutt1 I got mine a couple of months ago. it got dirty(sweaty hands) and I washed it(with a mixture of water and woolite detergent with a toothbrush) removed the excess mixture with a cloth and let it dried over night it was like new again :)
I have done this on my 2010 Subaru Liberty GT around 4 years ago. When I sold the car last year the wheel was in OK condition and it does degrade over time especially when you park the car outside.
I think what I'd do is divide the larger section into two and the red middle marker. End one half there and start the other half there. Easier than dealing with yards of thread - which is when I tend to mess up sewing projects - thy end up as thread bird's nest... The steering wheel looks great btw.
I ordered a leather one from Wheelskins for my F150 (weird how I ended up here, right? Lol) and the first time was a little screwy. It isn't as factory looking as this one, but it's a nice alternative to the $10 Wal-Mart ones. Lol. Doing that sewing takes a lot of patience for sure for it to come out right. You did good though, looks clean and like something you'd see on high end cars.
Go on aliexpress and find the kits there for the actual price.... Plus way more options. And any vehicle you have is possible. Thats where I got all mine from, even genuine leather. All that being said, the kits are really good.
Great job, I'd never have the patience. The oem cover looks like it could just have been coated, the leather didn't look worn. My wrx wheel looks crappy up top, the black coating over the leather is a little different than yours. Sucks because the rest of the wheel is great. Will probably pay someone to rewrap mine, so I won't notice the mistakes I'd make.
My steering wheel is pretty clean as I do have a low mile EVO however I’d like to keep it clean so I was gonna wrap it and protect it but do you think putting the double sided sticky tape on it will ruin it in the future if I ever decide to remove the cover? Like is the tape extremely adhesive and damaging? Please get back on your thoughts
Did you have any small gaps where the material didn't reach each other to essentially close? I have some gaps around the steering wheel clips, I think my material was just a tad too short to make it look sealed. I did my best with the thread to to close it and cover it.
They don’t sell one specifically for my car but it’s the same size as the evo one will this work or not? I can’t find anything specific for my car or it’s a full oem wheel for $300+
Looking at doing something like this to an STI steering wheel, came across this video and your Channel and man the quality on this video was on point! Goals for my Channel
Fuck that. Id just buy an aftermarket rim and quick release kit. Looks sexy but i would rather not spend ages trying to get it perfect when i could spend £150 on a great wheel that i know wont spin or be off centre
Ha, you do know... a lot of the old school mx riders that also 4 wheel green sticker rigs own sewing machines to repair their own stuff. Also Italian Taylor's are men with sewing machines... I would recommend a better thread over time that thread will fray.
You don't need to measure any thread. Just do the knot and start, then when getting to the end, cut it, and tie it. It's freakin taught in 6/7th grade. Good lord.
Lol so you’re going to run an entire spool of thread through each stitch? Ok. You also need tension on the thread. So feel free to make a video showing me how to do it better!
Marty from MCM should watch this
just what i was thinking!!
uh yes he needs that a lot.
I pasted it to their newest video. lmao They probably won't see it.

Thanks man!
U sir are one patient man on the planet.
Jun H Choi haha patience was key for this install
These wheels are actually better looking than aftermarket ones
Wow, that is the best DIY cover iv ever seen, great video aswel
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
Perfect video for newbies!!!! #GreatlyAppreciated

Who can't resist popping bubble wrap 😀
Marc G not me apparently lol
thought you would release the old dirty cover before putting the new one above
I want to do this on one of my Sim racing wheels !
I do to but i am not sure it will work
A soldering iron works great for pinpoint accuracy on melting nylon threads
Evolve 614 good point!!
I would imagine a punk stick would probably also be a great option since there’s no open flame, but there’s just enough to burn the thread

I just read an article saying this takes “about an hour” to complete. haha.. I call bs

They don't offer an option for 1st generation IS300, what a shame...

@@ALLDAYANTHONY Yeah lol someday.
Fantastic video!

I've got the full alcantara on my AMG gla45 yellow night 17 mod very nice steering weel. most of the gla models have only half the weel alcantara

hey there, I'd like to know what seller on aliexpress you bought that from, very interested!
This is a good video, the steering wheel looks good
I follow you on insta, just saw you in the comments on one of itsjusta6’s videos and went “I know that name” 😂 subbed

Do you recommend it ? Would you choose alcantara/suied over napa leather for daily driving?
Quarantine thing projects
No skyline wrap 😒
Good job though! Looks slick.
Dang! Maybe they’ll have some someday!
Thanks for posting this. Was about to buy a wrap. Not anymore. Lol. I’m not a clothing maker lol
Lol
Take a red paint pen and fill in the Mitsubishi logo on the wheel it will perfecto

Die, this is awesome! I’m so excited to try this. Most likely fail but I’m excited.
Haha you’ll get it!
Just subscribed👍🏾 Great clip✊🏾
i really love this , thank you sir
cool final product, thanks...
Thanks for watching
Quality stuff . . . Looks factory original bud 🖒🖒🖒
are you able to remove the existing leather wrap before putting the suede on top?
Tell them boys to make a 5th gen camaro wrap!!!!
I’m sure it can be requested!
I want the same for my dodge charger, suggestion would be highly appreciated.
I just emailed the company about this for my hellcat. I'm surprised dodge products are missing.
So how permanent is the adhesive? I want to preserve my leather which is in good shape and wrap it like this. I heard Subaru leather damages easily
"here's the knot part. *not* the easiest thing" --nice
Checked link. No jeeps
this is sick so so so so sweet
I love it!
I love it!
I love it!
Hey ADA, why not remove the old leather wrap first? Would doing so be just a huge pain because it’s glued on or????
Correct. That is the original material and there’s really no need to remove it
thanks for this!
For sure!
i want to do this to upgrade a cheap sim racing wheel i got so would i need to get a wrap that is the exact size of the wheel?
They don’t sell one specifically for my car but it’s the same size as the evo one will this work or not? I can’t find anything specific for my car or it’s a full oem wheel for $300+
Niice job on the wheel what kinda watch are you wearing?
Can you feel the tape under the cover?
No you do not
Isn't this just a more expensive version of Mewanten wraps?
I would like one of those covers, I need idiot proof instructions too :) Good job.
Haha glad I could help!
suck that they don't make one for a 1st gen mazdaspeed :(
Fernando Gonzalez that is too bad :(
Does this work on sim wheels aswell
Love it. That came out amazing. Do you think it would have been harder or easier to be done while still on the car?
It’s possible to do it on the car but I think it’s much easier off of it

AFewGuysWithZipTies thanks man
What camera did you use to record from your point of view?
I use a LUMIX g7 with a 25 mm prime lenses

Fuck that. Id just buy an aftermarket rim and quick release kit. Looks sexy but i would rather not spend ages trying to get it perfect when i could spend £150 on a great wheel that i know wont spin or be off centre

Well it’s nice to know I have a seamstress watching my videos

always a bad idea to wrap wheels. takes minimum 3.5 hours and never turns out
