Steering Wheel -> leather wrap

[Motortrend]

Yeah, those stretched-on steering wheel covers seems uncomfortable in the hands and looks gaudy.

The thing speaks for itself.

A few years back, the leather of my Mazda 3 was starting to peel off. I didn't want to have to have it done sa seatmate coz ayoko ng makapal. I saw in Lazada a think leather that you have to saw yourself. Took maybe around 2 hours plus a lot of gas for the aircon kasi mainit hehe. Didn't notice the difference in circumference. Had it for 2 years or more I think & so far so good!

Same here ...

as per their FB Messenger

P2,200 for steering wheel plain leather wrap
Addl P300 for perforated leather / for 2-tone leather
Addl P500 for repair if needed (pag nattwist na po forward & backward yung wheel)

Material is automotive grade genuine cowhide premium leather.

Ang laki ng price increase. The last time I inquired it was less than P2k pa.

Are you saying that all steering wheel covers are tacky?

I find it tacky too

So hindi niyo pa nasubukan?

Baka naman yung mga less than 500 kasi na steering wheel covers yan. hehe

I have tried it for a short while... not my car. It felt awkward. It's like holding a toddler's bicycle tire.

But let me put it this way... I draw the line between two types of steering wheel wraps.... slip-ons and stitched-ons.

I am biased towards stitched-on covers. These can be in leather (which i prefer) or some other synthetic material, sawn on to the steering wheel to become one with it... and they look and feel a million times better.

I detest the slip-on types. More often than not, the steering wheel ends up being too thick and the cover leaves about an inch of gap where you can still see the dilapidated steering wheel... and where dust and all sort of dirt can collect..... gaudy. :D

These aren't sub-P500 covers but I wouldn't use them even if they're free.

Exactly. Sometimes you don't need to try something to see that it is gaudy or tacky.

Ah kaya naman pala. Stitched-ons din actually kay Seatmate, higher quality lang kanila. You can even purchase full-grain leather stitched-ons which are very very durable.

BTW iba ata definition natin ng gaudy. As per MW dictionary "some common synonyms of gaudy are flashy, garish, meretricious, and tawdry. While all these words mean "vulgarly or cheaply showy," gaudy implies a tasteless use of overly bright, often clashing colors or excessive ornamentation."

From your definition parang hindi gaudy tamang term eh. But that's just me.

But yes, most stitched-ons and slip-ons SWC feels tacky.

Do you have the link for this?

I don't like steering wheel covers but this is decent enough to cover my peeling steering wheel before I could take it to seatmate

Yan manipis din lang and less than P1,000. Hanap ka na lang ng magkakabit.

But if may spare time ka, go to Seatmate na nga lang.
