In looking over the pics, I wanted to reply to the thread about the bunching up some people are noticing. This usually happens when they pull the thread tight to the left or right while sitting in the car. If you pull the thread either straight towards you or away from you (being sure to keep the seam centered where you want it) that should eliminate the problem.
Also, people have removed the leather before and then installed a Wheelskin. I don't normally recommend that because you can't go back if you don't like it, but with careful planning it can work.
If the factory leather is torn, you can use silicone tub caulk or silicone gasket maker to seal down any torn bits and fill in any holes/missing bits. If you wrap the wheel in plastic wrap it will even come out smooth. This will make the Wheelskin installation look better as the leather is soft enough that holes or tears in the original cover will be visible through the new leather.
I would post this myself, I logged in to the site for this purpose several days ago, but I still can't post anything, I guess a moderator needs to do something first. So would you post this, and tell people that I am still honoring the Group Buy price, and still standing behind the product and offering free thread if needed, or leather samples to help people decide.
THANKS!
