    I have a leather steering wheel but I bought a gray sheepskin steering wheel cover to match the gray sheepskin seat covers. I bought them from a local auto shop. The look is pure luxury. The feel of the sheepskin steering wheel is awesome! The steering wheel cover fits perfectly. If you like the feel of soft fur under your grip - check it out! So worth it!

    Just installed mine yesterday. It is worth every penny. The install does take about 2 hours but it is well worth it. It isn't hard just takes a lot of time. I actually enjoyed doing it. It came out awesome. Make sure you measure your steering wheel prior to ordering. The stock sizes do not work out well. Go to wheelskin website and they have directions on how to measure. Good luck!

    Stock size wheelskin fit my 07 perfectly. 7 years later still looks good. I didn't get to install it till 2 months alter and misplaced the thread. Customer service sent me free thread
    Excellent service from this company. I have wheelskins on every car I have owned. The G2 Prius steering wheel has a very rough feel to it and the wheelskins make it a joy to drive.

    First time you install it is hard. Put in on the wheel for a few days and it will relax. Put in on and then take it off before you thread it up.
    When you thread it up a hand mirror helps rto look behind the wheel to make sure your in the right hole.
