Chicago upholstery work

Bought a diy alcantara steering wheel wrap. I don't trust myself to stitch it tho. Any suggestions?

I will be taking the steering wheel off so it doesn't even need to be an automotive shop.

I say suck it up and go for it. It really wasn't bad, I did it in a couple hours on my car.

If you fail, send your steering well to Coby and he will wrap it however you want for around 200 including materials.

Thanks for the nudge. Just finished sewing it up, took about 3 hrs. Really wasn't that bad. But I'm in no rush to do it again.

Nicely done. Will last long enough to make it worth it I'm sure. I didn't take my wheel off and it came out great, still looks fresh 3 months in, no issues.

Enjoy!
