Thanks for all all of the ideas.
Give it a shot and it should work...it is your car and if it helps why not!

You have to remove it and ship it
to them. 3-4 day turn around. My Indy mechanic didn’t charge me anything to remove it or re-install. It took him less than a minute to do both. I had mine increased in thickness (that’s what she said. He has 1/16” or 1/8” padding. The oem leather is removed.

I am thinking about giving this a shot.....

not in the red color, just black leather white or gray stitching

Seems like it will take a bit of time to do it, but from the photos, it fits pretty well....and if not is only $50 for a try (instead of $400 and having to remove the steering wheel and ship it)

In the product description it is called out as "PU leather". Just so you know that is imitation leather made of polyurethane. No cows involved. Is that what you want ?

This one could also help you find your car in a dark parking lot:

yes - I’m old. Old people loose moisture in their skin.
Consider doing a "Cars and mani/pedi" instead of cars and coffee.
