Im ticked of because my steering wheel is peeling. I though that it was leather. But the stuff is just coming of. I was wondering what a good wheel would be. How would I go about replacing thanks.

Mine is doing the same thing. It's worse on humid days.

Haha..They don't cost that much, and from what I understand, installation is quite simple.

I think you need a tool or something.

Is it just me or does it look pretty much like the stocker?

It basically is the stocker, except it has a thicker grip area. (the diameter of the grip is bigger, and some people like the feel of that.)

Mine's tan leather, so it's looks a lot better. You need a harmonic puller to get the airbag off, my chiltons book has a whole section on how to do it

just adds to the two tone that is already there or you could always dye your airbag.

I wish mustangs had better looking steering wheels, but that actually looks pretty cool. I wonder how it would look with my charcoal interior?
