Wheel cover ?

Does anyone know where to get a steering wheel cover for the 2001's. Not a replacement or expensive one. Just something like the solid color or cheap ones they sell at Wallie world. I cant find one big enough.

Duct Tape?!?!?!?!? J/K....don't do that. That would be bad. Bad as in bad, not bad as in good.

Im glad your in the same situation. I was begining to think I was the only one in the world who couldnt find one. But that is a pretty good idea but if you ever take it off it is going to have the glue all over it and it may break down the leather on the wheel. I dont know for sure though.

Try J.C. Whitney. A friend of mine said he odered one from their 2001 Cat. No. 423-3J-10. He said it fits good. He could not remember the price. He has a 20001 F-150.

Actually, the Baseball bat tape (non-glue type, maybe called Cling Wrap) sounds good to me!

Try wheelskins....its an actual leather steering wheel cover that you can order in solid colors, and two-toned.

They fit really tight too!!! Just go to www.wheelskins.com

They have a pic of a red one on a BMW steering wheel....mine fits 100 times better than that...it almost looks factory!

I attached a pic of my wheelskins

Looks really nice,

I did one like that on a honda CRX one time about 8 years ago. It wasn't all that fun to do but it looked great. I like the two tone colors you went with.

I dont have anyt tips...it could take about an hour to lace it up. It comes with directions, and you pretty much follow them. It is really hard to stretch the cover around the wheel, but dont worry, it is supposed to be tight.

I can't wait Priority mail is 2-3 days so with any luck at all I should have it this weekend. Dude, I can't thank you enough I have been looking for someplace that sells covers like that for a long time and never ran in to them.
