New Si, bad steering wheel

[Zaimejs]

I just snatched up a 2004 Civic Si to replace my '99 Ex. It is awesome. Completely totally awesome. Except for the steering wheel. The leather is cracked beyond repair. I told them to fix it, and they put a wrap on it, but it's cheap and bad, so I was looking for something a little nicer.

I found Wheelskins, but after some searching, I found this:

And I want to know if that wrap would work for my 2004 Si? Is there another place to get the actual wrap?

Thanks!

I just looked up the price of a new 2004 OEM wheel, wow - $375. My 2000 SI is only $175.and I've been thinking about getting a new one.

My take on the steering wheel wrap is at the price for the Honda accessory wrap you might as well give it a try. I watched a show on TV where the guy took his deteriorated wheel to a saddlemaker (you know, horses) and got his leather wheel repaired.

Why dont you just get a momo, or sparco, with a wheel hub and a quick release...

Do you have a link for one of those?!

Pick whatever you like, make sure to get a hub.

Don't you feel unsafe without an airbag?!

Also pricey. I can get the wrap for <50.

or go to the junk yard and try to find one used but not deployed? i was quoted 60 for an 04 civic steering wheel and same price for an s2000 steering wheel

here is a link to an auction on ebay for a 2004 civic steering wheel without the airbag, if its the same color just use your airbag

Thanks for the link. I have an Si Steering wheel that is black. Doesn't quite look like that. Wrap seems to make the most sense, I think.
