Eiseng Steering Wheel Cover for 3 Spokes 8th Honda Civic 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 DIY Sew Interior Accessories 13.5-14.5 inches Stitch On Wrap Black Genuine Leather (Red Thread)

I ordered this after watching a few YouTube videos to get an idea of the installation difficulty. I figured it was worth a shot.I used the supplied double-sided tape to line everything up as carefully as possible. Before you start stitching, make sure you've lined up the wrap perfectly with the three spokes, then tuck everything in. It will take a bit of force to get the material under the plastic, so get someone with a bit of arm-strength to help if you don't feel comfortable with that.Once everything is tucked, the rest is pretty easy. Look at youtube videos for examples, but essentially you're just going back and forth, skipping one loop every time. I threaded every loop in the "nooks and crannies" of the wheel to make it a bit tighter.One major tip I have in regards to stitching: You can do all the stitches, but don't tie off the end right away. Instead, leave the end unsecured, and start back and the beginning and pull up the thread, sort of similar to tying a shoelace. Keep pulling the extra slack up (I used the plastic tool they provided) and simultaneously use your other hand to pinch the leather together. Again, youtube is your friend here, but hopefully this makes sense.I saw someone mention a chemical smell, and I would say while there is a scent to it, it's actually quite nice. Smells like dyed leather. Almost has a new car smell, like a BMW with leather seats.All in all I'm really happy with how it came out, looks almost like it was installed in the factory.

The media could not be loaded. Excelente calidad muy fácil de colocar y se siente como original lo recomiendo, solo es muy importante limpiar la superficie del volante para que las bandas adhesivas internas tengan donde pegar yo en mi caso por ser la primera ves que lo hago deje un pequeño detalle pero sin embargo quedo muy bien!!!

Overall I love this. I have a Si model, and was replacing the worn leather that was on the steering wheel. I took the old leather off first, and in hindsight I wish I wouldn’t have. I think the added thickness of the original leather would have helped this fit better. Not hard to do at all. I did struggle because of all the excess material. Like I said I believe that was my fault. Comes with everything you need. Take your time. Watch a few videos. I know my technique was good. And I started from the bottom. You can see that looks better, than as I got to the upper portion there was just nowhere for the material to go. Looks good tho. Better than it was. So that should tell you how bad my wheel was. Overall, I wish I wouldn’t have got this, took the red stitches out, taken a small bit off all the way around, and re stitched it then installed. That would have made up for my mess up but it’s on and I’m gonna leave it. I would recommend it. I just messed up.

My Honda wheel has been flaking apart and it was time to fix it. This wheel cover is a perfect fit, but let me tell you that if you want a professional look, you need to spend about 3 hours making it look that way. If you think you'll be done in an hour, you won't have a nice looking wheel cover and probably get frustrated. You must have patience and like me, be a bit anal to making it look good.1. It comes with double stick tape, I used some on the main parts between the spokes, no need to use it on the "tabs"2. Get it aligned and start by tucking in the "tabs around the wheel spokes, the provided plastic tool is great3. Unstick the double back tape and stick down the cover to the wheel, you can pull the tape up and stick back down to get it just right, it will look bumpy, but once you start sewing it, it will tighten up.4. Sew it up, check out youtube, there are several videos that will help build your confidence to do it5. Enjoy a great looking steering wheel

Don't buy this cover unless you have at least 3 hours to spend putting it in. It too 2 of us to do this. One pushing the needle into the leather and the other pulling it through with channel locks. The end result is o.k. It is not as smooth as the picture is. We have a Honda 2010 Civic and it was really difficult to push the extra leather into the gaps at the 6, 3, and 9 positions. All and all this is way too hard to put on and way too time consuming.

Like others have said, patience is key to this DIY. For a more manageable approach, I decided to remove the steering wheel. If you plan to do the same, remove the battery and disconnect the airbag 30 minutes before removal of the steering wheel. I also painted the trim to give the whole wheel a refreshed look as well as the blue Honda badge to match the blue gauges. Definitely impressed with the feel, I'm almost scared to touch the steering wheel because I'm scared to scratch it or something.The only con I have, or more of a warning is too be careful when stretching the cover over the wheel as I slightly tore the thin part of the material, luckily that goes tucked under the trim so it's not visible.The only advise I have is to buy curved needles to help with the tight spots near the spokes and to use a minimum of 2.5x of tread measuring from spoke to spoke. I made the mistake using too much and had to buy more nylon thread.Well hope this helps anyone who decides to refresh their steering wheel

Bought the suede version and it doesn't stretch very much, at least not enough to close the gap between the seems. If I pull the thread any tighter it'll just rip through the holes. Would be fine if they just made it a little wider..

Other than the 3-4 hours I spent sewing this onto a steering wheel, this product is great. I bought a junk wheel from a yard and disassembled it so I could see this in easily. It was still an undertaking to get this sewn on and I had every advantage possible. I would not recommend doing this to a wheel attached to the car unless you’re very flexible and skilled with a needle.Quality seems good. Time will tell in the az sun. With it installed this wheel feels brand new. Spent $80 on a junkyard wheel and the cover rather than 400+ on a brand new one. It was worth the neck pain
