DIY red gaffer table. Looks even more factory now as with age and handling has bedded into the grooves the factory left for the stitching there and the tape is fabric so it actually looks like it's been stitched in for real. That picture was taken when the tape was just put on Mike. I'll get another shot when the car is back so we can see what 6000 miles wear over 18 months and 10 track days looks like ....

I had the Leather steering wheel and actually used a razor blade to cut the width I wanted. I made mine bigger than the indent because I wanted it bigger. I cut enough tape to wrap it like 3 or 4 times around. It just took a couple of times because I did not want the tape to end where it was directly in front of me.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. Based on your pic, I'll have to revise my previous comments as that looks first rate. Anything special about how you did the installation? Do you recall what size tape you used; for example was it sized properly for width off the roll or did you have to trim it to fit?
As to what tape, you can get a whole role from Amazon here, in your choice of colors. Fits perfectly, not cutting needed.
For $10, I got enough to wrap my entire steering wheel. Thrice.

Sorry mate I missed this. The tape I bought was on eBay, has a fabric texture and came in a roll at precisely the right width which is what you want as its free mushed properly and will not Frey on the edges. There is a thread from 18 months ago here that pictures the tape and talks about the process but I will try and dig up the specifics for you. It is gaffer tape...
