Default Steering wheel repair

My steering wheel was pretty chewed up. It was also sticky because of the dye that was coming off. So I figured I had to buy a new steering wheel until someone told me about this company that repairs steering wheels. So I tried it and here is the result:

Well worth it. Look 100% stock and brand new. It cost me total of 270 bucks. They did a great job:

WOW! That looks BRAND NEW. Not a bad price considering the amt you would pay for a new wheel.

Anyone know how to repair the "L" logo on the newer steering wheels whent the chrome comes off the emblem? I have an RX300 wheel from an '01

They do custom wraps too. So you can get the top part in carbon fiber or wood. They can do plastic wrap too.

the work looks great, but I don't think recovering a steering wheel
is worth the price of 270!

Really? Because what are the alternatives? A new steering wheel is around 600 dollars. You can get used but it won't be as clean as this.
