I want to get it re upholstered too but should I just keep it all black with red stitching or black and silver on the bottom?

 

You can do this yourself-- get a wheelskin--did it over xmas for the wifes car. All leather excellent piece 50.00 I think. Now you have to be the brave guy to cover it, stitch it on etc.. and It took about an hr, but results are better then stock and as nice a leather wheel as I have seen or purchased... Dont pay someone to do this crap--do it yourself, if you can lace a shoe you can make this happen. Griots garage I think has them-- if search doesn't work.

 

I'm sure you could find a used one on eBay.

 

Pics?

 

Subscribed. Mine has just started to wear and look terrible at 120K miles. But I have also used a windshield sun guard ever since I've had the car. And tint.

I'm interested to hear average prices for recovering.

 

just get it rewrapped

 

that is some serious work.... its very hard to do steering wheels

 

i have the same problem in my evo.. everytime its really hot out my hands turn black from the steering wheel

does anybody know of any good aftermarket steering wheel options?

 

I'd redo the steering wheel with Alcantara and deviating stitching of sort

 

lol yea i've been trying to find some se doors for a while now, i would love to have some leather instead of that suede i have, not to mention i want to have my wheel redone, i wonder how much momo would charge?

 

FWIW, leather door panels were only available on a SSL. The door cards on the SE are like all other Evos, Alcantara not suede.

Has anyone tried cleaning the wheel as suggested on the first page?

 

This place has done evo ones already

You can only do so much cleaning after the fact. You may remove all the unwanted oils and dirt, but you're still left with a worn out steering wheel.

I would suggest re-upholstering the wheel, but it looks like the alcantara would wear out much faster than the oem material. Whatever you do, you will likely have to repair/replace again in the future.

 

I agree; a worn wheel is a worn wheel. This being said, often, years of caked on deposits mimic the symptoms a worn wheel, when it just needs to be cleaned. Takes minutes and five cents to clean the thing; takes hours and a whole lot of dollars to reupholster. Seems like a no-brainer.
