2021 Genesis G80 - Custom Steering Wheel Skin/Cover

[ahrajani]

I have a 2021 G80 Prestige with the blue interior. The steering wheel wasn't doing it for me. Felt kind of dry and not supple and a tad too thin. A local auto upholsterer recommended I get a custom designed cover from Wheelskins.com and then get it stitched on. I had never heard of them nor did I realize they were also in the Bay Area. I ordered a leather, two-tone, perforated cover. Top and bottom is darker brown, sides are navy. It was made the next day and shipped out quickly. The upholsterer stitched it on. I like the results, definitely feels a bit more custom and the look is distinctive. I tried out the steering wheel heater and you can still feel the heat on low and high.







The only downside is that our steering wheels are a little busy, so the section where the controls are don't transition perfectly. But the leather seems to be relaxing a little and settling in over time.

Cost of the cover was about $70 and install was $100 in labor.

Also, it was important for me to make this completely reversible. If I don't like it down the line, just need to cut the stitch and it comes right off.

Hi! I know this is an old post but I have a 2023 electrified G80 with the same style of steering wheel. Unfortunately I scuffed the leather on my steering wheel and it's starting to peel so I was wondering how your experience was with installing this steering wheel wrap. Did you have to take the steering wheel off? If so, do you have access to the bit sizes and factory torque specs?

This wheel wrap should be professinally installed by an auto upholsterer. Wheel did not have to come off, the wrap can be sewn on in place in a few hours.
