    Does anybody know where I can get a black leather cover for my '05 Prius? The 2005 Corolla S(sport) has this leather casing but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Any suggestions?

    leather cover? you mean seating or steering wheel. Seeing that you refer to the Corolla S, I assume steering wheel

    I got mine at http://www.wheelskins.com

    They make them in custom sizes for the Prius...there are instructions on the site how to get the correct one. There are several variations that they make and they're very high quality. Note that installation requires threading the string through pre-punched holes in the cover and takes 45 min or even longer.

    Evan,

    Does the leather steering wheel cover get too hot to touch during the summers after the car's been parked all day in the sun? That's my concern. Also, did you get the cobalt blue or sea blue leather?

    Didn't notice it getting hot...no reason it should get any hotter than the coverless wheel. But I use a Heatshield so that helps too.

    I think I have the cobalt blue...it's a dark one....darker than it looks in the flash lit picture.
