    I had custom leather seats, armrests and centre console added to my Cdn 2008 Prius, but I could not get leather on the steering wheel. I dug up this photo. Anyone have it, or know where I can have it done? I do not like the two-tone wraps that are out there. Thanks. :wub:

    That's the standard steering wheel on the 'business edition' Prius over here.

    The Wheelskins leather steering wheel covers available on PriusChat Accessories Shop are also available in all one color --- you don't have to get two tone.

    That's the factory leather wrapped steering wheel. We don't get it up here.

    You can get Wheelskins and you don't have to get two-tone

    Thanks folks. I will check out the Wheelskins, all black.

    I really wish we ALL were able to buy the same option levels! I had to custom add the leather interior but they could not do a steering wheel, however US offers leather seating and EU includes the leather steering. :(

    Alcantara is microfibre, a man-made material similar to suede. It's soft, easy to clean (like leather) and warm in the winter (like cloth).
