My custom Ledermanz steering wheel came in!

Just got home from work and this was on the dining table waiting for me



Very well bubble wrapped! as soon as I opened the box you can smell the new leather!


Black leather top, bottom and middle. Black Alcantara sides. Flat bottom... thumb rest with cinnamon 12 o'clock stripe and cinnamon tri-stitching




You can see the contour of the bottom thumb rest


Close up of the cinnamon tri stitching



Overall I'm very happy with the way it came out! Quality, Service and with the back and forth emails with so many design ideas they never complained about me changing my mind 10 thousand times lol the thicker wheel feels so much better than the skinny stock OEM wheel. The flat bottom gives it that sporty look and the alcantara just feels AWESOME! appreciate everyone's input on the design aspect! If anyone is thinking about doing this upgrade I highly...highly recommend doing this! Will post some install pictures tomorrow

Definitely will! I've browsed other forums from Mercedez to Porsche and they all had nothing but positive stuff to say!

I did have to remove the buttons he gave me as it was in a different language. also, the airbag assembly mechanism inside and harnesses, i had to reuse that too so it took about an hour to complete.

Looks great!

Congrats.

I wonder if they will customize your factory steering wheel if we send it to him?

THANKS MELLOW! you know on another forum I read a member insisted on using his own steering wheel so he shipped it to Ledermanz at his own shipping cost but all that was charged was labor and materials...i wanna say i think he paid like $300 or so? i'm not sure if he paid for shipping back or if Ledermanz charged him? i'll see if i can find that thread.

I've done this upgrade on my Integra and now my BMW and hands down one of the best upgrades you can do especially at that PRICE! I think for the exterior upgrades you take it for granted because you don't see them sitting from the driver's seat. But for the steering wheel I think because your holding it every time you drive that feeling never goes away because you're always looking at it...gripping it...feeling it...OH MAN! you appreciate it a lot more
