At nearly 110k miles, my steering wheel was looking terrible. I wanted a new one, and noticed Rick's Signature Accessories sold wheels, and also a new shift boot. The boot was available with contrasting stitching so I emailed and asked if I could get the wheel done to match, and to my delight they could at no extra fee.

It looks amazing, a massive improvement over the beat up old one, plus it's cake to install, don't be intimidated to do it.

Old and busted:



New hotness:

How did you mount that proclip on the right side?

Wheel and boot look great.

I'm considering a new wheel for my 02. Could you describe the install process a bit? Is the new wheel beefier than stock?

NaS 's "Halftime" is a top 5 song for me.
the wheel and shift boot look great!

It looks great!

But you really need to either start using hand lotion or sign up for Anger Management classes. I've never seen a steering wheel that worn before. I have over three times as many miles on mine and the leather still looks new.

I think it's from the North Face gloves with rubber palm I wear in the winter.

Also, you have almost 330k miles? Wild. That's truly awesome.

slightly beefier.

Install is easy and I'm an idiot.

Disconnect negative battery terminal. Leave for 10 min (I left over night)

Pop up the covers off the back of the spokes at 10 and 2

unscrew screws under cover

pull disconnect airbag clips, pull airbag out

remove various screws and clips

loosen main nut (don't remove)

yank on wheel to loosen

when loose, remove main nut

move cruise control bracket over to new wheel

assembly is reverse of above. Most of it is obvious once you get the airbag out.
