Looks like it'll cover up the steering wheel buttons.

i think it would look better than some leather cover or stitching.
that of course is if it looks exactly like it does in picture.
i will wait for a few more opinions before taking the plunge.

Hey Will,
how is it going?
i really like the look of that thingy and it does match the guinea pig.
am curious as to whether it is going to snap tightly and be firm around the steering wheel.
that would make it better.
so no one has encountered this thing or had a friend who had it.or knows what it is made of?
more opinions people

Here's a black one installed on the car....not too bad but I don't think it would work on GS4's w/e-shift.

now people,
with those pics above(thanks joelseff), you can't tell me that thing is not nice. it completely looks oem.
As look as it does not have a loose feeling when handling, i think its nice.
i will be the guinea pig cos me like it. it will protect my steering for years.

Post pics when you do. Iwould get one if i had the brown wheel but since i got black it's all good. Besides i got eshift, i guess i can always take a dremel to it..... I saw these on some acuras and they look deceptive enough until you look at the back of the wheel-it only covers the front.
