Take your time
The wrap is nice and feels premium. It feels like a Raptor steering wheel minus the paddle shifters (I used to have a Raptor, so I’d know). I am not an expert at sewing. The link for the instructional video that the manufacturer gives you is absolutely horrible. I had to watch several other steering wheel wrap videos to get an idea of how to do it. I didn’t realize until after I had done the entire wrap the seams were misaligned slightly. They really need to have a better “how to” video.I completed the wrap the first time in about 2 hrs. I wasn’t happy with it because of the misaligned seams, so I took it off and redid it. Took me about 2.5-3 hours to do on the second time. I wouldn’t recommend reusing the same wrap because the eyelets that are already pre-sewn into the wrap got really weakened the second time. A couple of the eyelets broke when I was cinching the thread down and I had to stop and rig new eyelets. I couldn’t cinch the wrap down as tight as the first time because of the weak eyelets. I was going to buy a new wrap altogether, but now they only sell a stupid orange color and not the grey one like I initially purchased.I saw another reviewer recommended spending the extra $7 on the thicker wax Tiger thread instead of using the crappy thread that is included. I purchased the Tiger thread and it was awesome. I would HIGHLY recommend it. Save yourself the headache, trust me.If the instructions were actually good and useful, then this would have earned five stars. However, for the price and quality of the wrap, it is still worth it.

Have patience, use the needle with the big eyelet
Edit: After this review, it was suggested i retirn the cover. They charged me after refunding me and sent me another. No email, no note. I sent Amazon a note about it, and they advised i placed the order in Dec. We didnt realize it until it showed up today! 2/4/23. What a rotten thing to do.After 3 weeks the thread is coming apart. I didnt try to over stretch it, it actually fit well, but now it is not comfortable to have on the steering wheel. I am going to have to remove the cover, or it is going to fall off anyways.When I first tried this on my 2022 F150, I said noway will this fit or will the seams come together. I read the instructions and watched the video ( not for a 2021 or 22 F150). I had very little faith, but I started and just kept sewing, making sure the leather was "seamed". The hardest part wasn't actually the sewing, it was having faith in the tool to tuck in the leather because I was thinking the whole time, it was going to split right through the leather.I took my time. Total time 2.5 hours. I broke the smaller needle in half trying to push it through the leather, and moved to the larger needle. I suggest this, as it made sewing, so much easier. Also, keep in mind, with a basic stitch, you will only use about 3/4 of one spool of thread.....so if you screw up, you can always pull the thread out and start over. I also suggest starting with the upper part of the wheel ( using about double what you think you need) that way you can ensure the stripe is centered on the top of the steering wheel. The lower 2 parts a little wonky. The key is to begin this part by tucking in the back side 1st. You will need to pry it up from the backside and tuck it in and snap the trip back all the way. Then tuck un the front. I made the mistake of doing the front and moving to the back, but didn't have enough of the back to do anything with.Note: on those lower part of the wheel where your volume keys are, as you start this, you will want to tuck in the front under the back and push the thread through the leather to ensudre it stays put. If you dont do this, you WILL have what seems like a bunch of extra leather. You will use every pre-threaded stitch. If you skip any, your stitching will be lopsided.Remember, there is is enough thread if you mess up.Good luck! Best improvement to my F150 yet.

High quality
Very surprising quality. Every stitch, every fold, every cut is well thought-out, creating the perfect tension. Very time consuming and a pretty steep learning curve to get right. I spend 4 hours, and then another 2 hours redoing a quarter of it to get it just perfect, and get the bottom back to lay flat. Don't use the tool to tuck under trim, just spend the extra minute to remove the center trim piece and buttons. Also do NOT use the thread it comes with. Spend the extra 7 dollars to get proper waxed thread. This is a MUST. I used "tiger thread 1.0mil space grey" with these tips, I got a result similar to premium oem steering wheel.

Better than OEM
Take your time and line it up properly and it will turn out great I can't see at all and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Just kept it tight, used doubled up stitching and took my time. Mind looks better than my buddy's brand new f350 King Ranch. Feels better too! The leather is amazing. Highly recommend if you have a few hours to spare and have a bit of patience.
