DIY Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel Ideas

[Panzer948]

Hi,

I recently wrapped an ageing/well worn leather wrapped OEM steering wheel on my 10 year old BMW M4. The brand I used was from "Mewantcover.com" (yeah I know, original idea of a name...). Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and new feel of the wheel. I was also surprised I could actually install the thing myself, which I had put off about a year. In the end, it just took a Saturday afternoon, a bit of swearing as I learned how to sew, and just repetitive mindless tasks once you got the hang of it. So in other words, I feel I can do it again for the Bronco, which I think really needs it too. Thus, I think I would rather go with the DIY wrapped look then just buying a whole new wheel.

I checked the company I just used for the BMW and they have options for the Bronco but just don't seem to be as good as I think they specialize in sport cars, etc. I found another company called stichingcover.com. They seem to stand out as they have some great options for the Bronco (see screenshot below). Anyone have any experience with them?

Hi, thanks for the recommendation. Looking at their site now.

Overall where you fairly happy with it as far as quality and installation? Like I said in my post, I just did this for another car so kind of know what I am getting into. The first few minutes of it seems like it's impossible, but then at some point is just clicks and not a big deal.

I have a couple of other questions on your setup, which I really like. Where did you get that red Bronco emblem at the bottom of your steering wheel? I really like that and would love to pick one up myself. Second, maybe you're Bronco is a newer model but I don't think I have that same display pop up with the Bronco in the instrument cluster. Is that some mod too? Thanks again!

Welcome. The quality of the leather is excellent. Installation was more involved than I thought. Mostly due to the sewing part. Since you have done one already you should be fine.

I got the emblem from Tufskinz. I have several of their products. I upgraded to the Raptor Cluster from Pandaworks.com.

Great info, I was wondering about the raptor cluster but didn't see that in your signature. I will check that out for sure.
