Loncky Steering Wheel Cover Install Questions

[CharlieS]

I had my 2016 steering wheel covered in full leather by Craft Customs and they did a great job. It was far less than a new stereo wheel. Also if you do a search, I started a steering wheel loaner system here on Mud where you can use a temporary steering wheel while yours is being redone. Hopefully it is still going.

waiting for a nice day to install my wrap - did one on my BMW and it turned out great - hoping for the same results on this one.
I plan on using lots of tape.

i am going to install next week

you recommend doing no double sided tape?

I would recommend double sided tape on where the original wheel’s leather surfaces are only. You don’t feel it under the textured part of the new cover, or at least I don’t.

I didnt care for the double sided tape on the hard plastic portion as I could still feel the outline of the tape strips under the new leather cover where the cover itself is the smooth type leather (at the top)

I was bothered enough to redo the top portion, but dozens of folks have prob done it that way with tape all around and couldn't care less. Depends on your level of compulsiveness, I suppose.

I have one of the Loncky covers on my 80, and I do like it. I need to do something for my '08 200, but I don't think any of the color choices will look decent. I have the tan/brown interior, and their brown is way too light, and the black would look out of place I think. My stock wheel leather is a very dark brown that looks almost black, unless you put something actually black next to it.

Has anyone installed a Loncky on an '08 with the tan/brown interior?
