I've had one in brown for several years when my interior was brown. Now i'm swiching to black so i want to change it. Mine looked great, I guess it just depends on yer sewing skills and patients.

I recovered mine with a kit from www.agla.com. Looks great but took 8 hours of work.

I bought one of those covers from wallymart that just stretches over the wheel. It's leather but is not stitched on. Not the best fix but it is black and thick and feels great. I do think it looks ok, too. No holes or "tribal" graphics on it. Just plain black. Like $10....I would rather have the factory style stitch on... but they are rather pricey for what you get and if you don't have to be concerned about the "stitching skills"

Go to automotion and get you a free catalog, they sell them for about $50 I think.

You would think that a doctor could just afford a nice 930S wheel as a replacement for the tatty stock one!
