Real Leather Wheelskins (nice ebay find) - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

*jclo3313* · 10-21-2008, 10:07 AM

Ok Bob where are your pictures so I can decide if I want to try this one out?

Yeah... no offense to the installer, but that pic might kill any future sales for wheelskins, especially after seeing the Scion leather wheel. Wheelskins really ought to post some good pics on a Yaris wheel if they want my business. I'm sure the homemade version could have been done better, but it soesn't look like it was really made to fit anyway. Waiting on good pics.

Some time back I covered my steering wheel with a 2-tone cover from Wheelskins.

Stock wheel before cover:

Then about an hour later...

To show how well the 'Cobalt' color goes with Blazing Blue:

I dug it so much I order the shift boot kit after that ...will have to take/post a pic of that. The wheel feels so much better with that leather cover ...and looks pretty nice too :)

Joe this is exactly what I am looking (same color, too)--looks like you did an excellent job of installing the cover! Is there a part # for the cover & shift boot you have (and is there a boot available for the parking brake?)

Please do not buy it , it will not fit the yaris , internal alloy casting is different than the 08
scion xb, which is what you need to fit the 2005-2008 yaris

I ordered the cover based on make/model/year:

For the shift boot, they don't have one specific to the Yaris, so I ordered the "Universal" kit and did a LOT of customizing on it. Fortunately, my wife is real good with sewing (has even done some upholstery), so she was able to sew fresh seams on the boot after we trimmed away a LOT of excess. The "Universal" kit is WAY too big. But I really wanted the boot to match. It's not perfect, but I think this came out pretty good after a couple of hours of mucking with it:

Thanks for the info, Joe! More stuff for the Yaris, yay!

Just thought I would show off my new EuroTone Wheelskin - I got black on black.
You really need to spend the time doing it properly and follow instructions.
