So after months and months of trying to figure out how to get the leather on my steering wheel fixed after it's been worn over the years, I ended up buying a new leather wrap from wheelskins.com and got it on last night. I figured for $65 bucks shipped it was worth it.
The only other options I had were to get a FR500 steering wheel (over $250) IF you can find them now or get a OEM on ($400 Ouch ). I even asked a couple of upholstery shops if they could repair it and they told me to kick rocks.
I'm happy with the results...although it doesn't look perfect, it makes the steering wheel look better than what it did before and also gives me a thicker steering wheel. I'm going to try to glue it where it meets the spokes on the steering wheel and pull it tighter there. I got all black with the sides perforated to mimic the FR500 wheel style. It matches my Cobra seats nicely.
