Today I show you how to transform your steering wheel at home, with a custom alcantera, suede, leather or vinyl wrap. This project was done using an East Detailing Steering Wheel Wrap, and will make it so you need NO previous upholstery or wheel wrap experience.
I got my wrap at www.eastdetailing.com/

Note, their ship times are not extremely fast since these are custom covers made to order. Fitment, at least for the Miata wheel cover, was near perfect!
Steering wheel covers like this one from East Detailing are great, because they do the most difficult upholstery work. They send you a custom made wrap, with your choice of colors and materials, and you just need to stitch it up. This is MUCH easier than starting from scratch to make a custom cover!

I went with carbon fibre but in hindsight I'd probably go with suede at the top and bottom just because carbon fibre can look a little flashy

@TheCreationman 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! I ordered mine with the perforated leather and suede as well on my 2014 f150 The stitching and time is my only issue right now. I know I’ll do a good stitching job, but I’ll have to put my whole day aside for it haha

It's a lot easier than you think. This guy did the most complex way possible lmao. Check some other videos out. I just did my Chevy Silverado and I did it in an afternoon over the weekend. You definitely don't need to dismount the steering wheel.

Thanks! This company’s kits are made to go over the old wrap, I think it wouldn’t fit right if you did remove what’s there

@chadgeissler4544 Жыл бұрын

No, Don’t remove the old leather! I did it on my first wheel and the cover was loose. I had to find another wheel because east takes the thickness of the original leather into account when the make the cover.

Id love to see a video for this process on a 2nd Gen (2005-2015) Nissan Xterra! Is removing the airbag and steering wheel really necessary? I have this crazy fear something will bump the wrong way and the airbag will explode in my face.

@Augie.. 6 ай бұрын

Nope, keep the wheel in the car. That’s what 90% of ppl do, this dude just did it WAY more complicated than you should.

How is the material holding up after almost a year? Have oils and sweat degraded the areas that you hold on to most?

It’s still doing quite well! Mild staining on the white stitching, but nothing major and I haven’t tried to clean it. The material is still in great shape

Ive noticed every single East Detailing demo is always on a simple wheel without any leather wings. These covers look nice, but the one I got for my Type-R is cut too loose, the thread gets so twisted after a few passes the thread knots up. I regret buying from them, and it really sucks because theyre expensive.

@hecmad1 10 ай бұрын

Sucks man. I would've asked flr a refund. Mine almost didnt work. But i made it work. Looks decent. Only i would be able to notice the issues.
