Default Leather Steering Wheel Cover

I saw a post on this before but couldn't find it. I'm ordering this leather steering wheel cover from ebay and I want to see who else has installed this:

--How is the installation--easy/difficult?
--How much time to install?
--Hows the fitment? It looks like a good fit and will give the wheel a nice look and thicker feel.

it was difficult for me at first, mainly learning how to do the stitching. the instructions aren't that great and the videos on youtube aren't that great either.

--How much time to install?

took me probably 5-6 hours, had to restart multiple times

--Hows the fitment? It looks like a good fit and will give the wheel a nice look and thicker feel.

fitment is 90% on point. tucking the excess material is pretty hard. make sure you use the tape included. yes the steering wheel will look nicer and better feel
see reply above

Default Cover Installed!

Got the cover on after 3 hours it was PIA esp. the threading and tucking in the edges but looks great and quality and fitment is excellent
