Nice touch for my '97 Outback

I just put one of those Wheelskin leather steering wheel covers on my
Outback.  Much nicer feel than the plastic steering wheel, and if you take
your time putting it on right it looks like it came from the factory.  They
come in lots of colors, so you can mix or match them to your car.  I got
charcoal and it matches the interior perfectly.  It just takes time to put
it on right and make it look professional.

Anyway, I have nothing to do with the company.  I just think it's a nice
touch for not much money if you want a professional looking steering wheel
that has a nice tactile feel to it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking for a cover for my wife's
steering wheel that might make her grip more comfortable. I'll try the
Wheelskin.

One more thing:  After a couple of days I noticed some small bumps under the
cover -- it really fits tight and looks OEM when you do it right.  I
e-mailed the company and they told me it might be some perforations trapped
under the cover when I put it on, so they are going to send me a new lace
and needle so I can get inside and remove whatever is under there.  It still
looks great, but you might want to double check you're not accidentally
pushing any small perfs under the cover when you lace it on.

They even implied that if there were any more problems they would send me a
new cover.  Great company.  autoupgrade.net
