    What can I say, it's pretty good other than that. 12 years of sun and now its kid of flaking off in my hand daily. I was planning to go to the Autozone and get a cover for it. Any have any suggestiones of style of cover that works best?

    I'm thinking the kind with holes in it will continue to fall through the holes.

    I suppose the advantage with a 2003 Prius is you have a standard steering wheel, thus can buy just about any cover you want.

    The elliptical shape of the Gen 3 steering wheel limits cover choices.

    Since you can buy just about any one you want, my suggestion would just be to go look at them. Whatever one feels good and looks good in the store? Will probably look good and feel good on your steering wheel.

    If your interested in a step up, the '98-'01 lexus rx300's are a direct replacement and are leather. I got mine on ebay for $40.
