Your dog is fat.

Can't wait to see how the color compares to stock. None of those leatherseats.com or Katskinz whatever look anything like the factory color.

I'm gonna get rid of this worn and discolored steering wheel first. The wheel is technically darker, but now it'll match the seats.

I have had to source a special needle and thread that is heavy duty because what I have won't hold up so it has taken me a few more days. First you gotta find it, then you gotta find it in your color.

Yeah, I can't wait to see what you do to that steering wheel. I know it's going to be a work of art!

Maybe, maybe not. I'm no seamstress.

Are you planning on wrapping the wheel in that perforated stuff?

The leather on my black '95 wheel is really bad too. Since I'm getting rid of the leather seats I decided I'm just gonna use plasti-dip for a nice rubberized finish.

That perforated material will give your SC a nice updated look. This a perfect time to convert to a 3 spoke wheel also.

Plasti-dip ain't very Lexus like.

I'm pretty sure if you plasti-dip your wheel, it'll just rub off over time. And it'll leave your hands black. Take my word on this one.

Ah, oh well. So much for that idea. Sparco Veloce with a suicide **** it is then! It's a 2 spoke wheel.

I think perforated leather centers with solid sides always looks classy. I can't picture the whole seat with it but go for it! It looks like you have a lot of material there.

This is going to be tricky to get it all tucked.
