Just finished wrapping my steering wheel and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
Leather wraps are way easier, but I really wanted that glossy carbon look. The shine makes it tricky since every little flaw stands out, so I had to redo some parts to get it right.
I stitched it myself at first, but then a friend helped redo the stitching—she’s way better at it than me .
I swapped in 2011 STI Alcantara seats—black with red stitching to match.
Is the whole interior black or a mix of black and platinum? I want to swap out the light-colored seats and wheel, but I’m not sure if darker ones would look weird.

I did something similar with faux leather, but had a hard time wrapping the horizontal spokes, especially behind the paddles.
I never had issues with spokes on leather wraps, but this carbon one was a pain. The gloss makes every mistake stand out.
I had to use way more double-sided tape than usual to keep it smooth. The bottom spoke was the toughest—felt like trying to fix a dent on a shiny car surface.
