So it takes a while, and your hands are going to ache after it. I recommend taking off the steering wheel. It takes about 5-10 minutes, and doing this with the wheel on sounds impossible, having done it with the wheel off and still struggling.After you take the wheel off, take the plastic pieces off the wheel by undoing the 5 screws on the metal.Doing all the stitches is going to take you about 4.5 hours, so plan for that. Start by aligning it as best you can, then add the double sided tape to the front of the bottom wheel spoke, which will layer hold the wrap flush in that position.Next, start with the bottom two quarters - using 6' of string per quarter, pass it through the needle, double it up, and then tie it at the end.After you stitch those quarter pieces on, you can finish the top side. I used about 12' of string for this, but it ended up being about two feet too many.I recommend ordering your own double sided tape, the stuff it comes with sucks (-1 Star).I dig the look, but I'm bummed I couldn't get it on perfectly - there are some pieces I couldn't get under the trim.

The double sided tape was extremely helpful when working around the volume and cruise control buttons. I found it best to stitch the inside of the wrap on both sides of each button group at the same time so that the wrap didn't get pulled to one side more than the other.This is definitely a time consuming process and I ended up removing the wheel altogether so that I could better see what I was doing.I was worried about wrapping the existing steering wheel since it already was wrapped in leather (OE/Factory). After I finished it was fine and it feels great when driving.

The material is good not too stretchy and it isn’t as wide as it need to be to stitch comfortably, be patient stitch every single stitch make it tight but don’t break the stitches you go under to make your stitch, slow and steady for best results also definitely makes it easier to have the steering wheel out of the car only reason I have to give this product 4 stars instead of 5 is due to it being not so user friendly. Overall I’m satisfied with the look and am happy I didn’t rush it.

This product looks awesome once it's completed.
