Black Microfiber Leather Car Steering Wheel Cover for 2013 2014 2015 2016 Scion FR-S / 2013 2014 2015 2016 Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 Accessories

I used this cover for my heated steering wheel project.I made the mistake of removing the original steering wheel leather before installing this one, thinking it would be a better fit. I was wrong. It was way too loose, and I ended up sewing the original leather back on before sewing this cover on.The cover (used as a cover, not a replacement) was a near perfect fit, and there was a lot of spare thread, which was quite handy for sewing the original leather back on.A few useful tips:- Trust the stitching. When you start sewing on either half, just align the first stitch of one side to the first stitch of the other.- Use double sided tape on the flat pieces on either side of the horn and on the flat spot behind the wheel on the bottom. No need for tape anywhere else.- Use masking tape to hold the stitches together as you go along. I spent ~2 hours getting the new cover lined up and stitched together, and tightly wrapped masking tape prevented the stitching from loosening too much when I adjusted my grip.- Don't skip stitches in the tight spots, but skip every other stitch in the easy spots.- As mentioned above, do not remove the original steering wheel leather.For those of you who are interested in the heated steering wheel project, I used 28 Gauge Nichrome 80 resistance wire for the heating element. This was wound around the entire wheel at ~0.75in spacing in appropriate areas, which yielded ~60 ohms. At 48V, this produces ~40W of heat. I used a 12V-->48V boost converter to reduce current through the clock spring, and I split the current across 3 pins. The clock spring pin part number is TE 1674311-1.If I was to go back and make it again, I would probably use 26 gauge Nichrome wire at ~2 ohms/foot.

Absolutely love this steering wheel cover for my Scion FR-S.Pros:-Very quick shipping from overseas 10 days from order to delivery.-OEM style appearance.-Microfiber Leather offers exceptional grip and durability (judged by abrasion resistance and thickness of material). -VERY snug fitment (no double-sided tape used during install).-Tight stitch pattern matching OEM finish and feel.-Included DIY accessories are of high quality and provides enough thread for even the most novice of DIY’ers.Cons:-The extra snug fitment is sort of like fitting into a size S when you are normally a size L. Waiting for a warm day may help with material elasticity.-Develop an installation plan and study your stitching technique, as this wrap will take you several hours to complete.-The included needle is extremely sharp, which is great for puncturing the wrap (+fingers) for anchor stitches, but bad for constant snags with the microfiber leather and piercing the stitches. I recommend switching to a blunt needle when doing your cross stitches.-Due to the silver trim fitment tolerance, I was not able to "tuck" and hide the excess material.Summary:Hard work pays off, and it’s amplified when tackling this steering wheel install. Expect blood, sweat and tears, but the satisfaction of a job properly executed project, is well worth it.

I just opened the box and have not installed yet, but just by feeling the materials and reading the instructions, I can say that this is a very high quality kit. I very much look forward to the install. I plan to take the wheel off entirely to get it just right, and would recommend that anyone else do the same to avoid a rough install.EDIT: I have now installed this cover a good while after my review. It was the most cumbersome thing I've had to do to my car, and I've done quite a bit to my car. I only recommend this product for people with iron will, great craftsmanship, infinite patience, and a true passion for their car. I think beginning to end it took about 6-8 hours but I wasn't really paying attention to that. That being said, it's beautiful, and I love it. It's the best possible steering wheel cover for those who are happy with the OEM feel of the wheel. I suspect installation would be a bit easier if you removed the original cover first, but I was too chicken to do that myself.

Loncky steering wheel cover is a better quality material than the factory. Got it for my FR-S after I got tired of the factory steering wheel cover peeling. It is not complicated to put it on, but it is time consuming. I left the original cover on and put Loncky cover on top because I read a review that advised against it. Now I have a gap between the stitches. Not sure if I didn't tighten the stitching enough or I was supposed to take the original cover off. Not a big deal though. Pretty satisfied with the purchase. Comes with plenty of thread and tape, so feel free to experiment and make adjustments.

Ordered this cover with red thread for my red 2014 Subaru BRZ. The OEM steering wheel began to peel (common problem). This cover looks and feels 1000X better than OEM. Watch the videos on Youtube on how to stitch it on. 2-3 hours of stitching later and you'll be happy!

Looks factory. Don't remove the old peeling leather, use the double sided tape, and pull the thread tight at the turns.
