If you scroll down to the bottom you can see the two tone styles. I think this is going to be my next mod. I am tired of the rubbery rubber feel of the steering wheel. My other car is a acura with a nice leather steering wheel.

I think its a nice cheap alternative to completely changing the wheel out and plus it can be returned to factory very easily if you decide you ever sell your car. And then it can be reinstalled in your next vehicle =).

I just got mine last week and installed it. I got grey/black two tone. Took about 40 minutes to install.

Comfortable.

How hard is the install if your kinda ham fisted like me?

Think that grey/black two tone is the same one I've got.
Don't let the colour in the images fool you. Its a great match to the interior.

Bought direct from Wheelskins not via ebay.

LOL you just have to pay attention or you end up with a tangled mess. You could do it.

Installing the real leather steering wheel sounds a lot easier

But a lot more expensive

where did u buy that real leather steering and how much it cost?

*jclo3313* · 10-21-2008, 11:07 AM

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

ozmdd · 10-21-2008, 02:40 PM

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.
