Was that including the leather? $100 aint too bad, considering the price of new leather wheels. :wink:

Had the airbag steering wheel in my Mazda retimmed in leather by RECARO, back in 2000, cost $175...

They did the wheel and gearboot in matching leather for $250 for the lot....

But that was "show quality" work......

4 years later, the wheel has worn and stained badly thanks to my "taxi" steering style... but the leather there is blue, the black bits are fine.... I would recommend a black retim because any staining wont show up...

I got my very S/H MotaLita recovered in vinyl years ago for $80 in Seven Hills, job was not brilliant although it's still not ripped.

I'd be interested in getting it redone again in leather.

I believe SAAS do it (or used to..) but only to their wheels.
