pmod 261 Posted October 16, 2013 Shouldn't cost any more than 20 bucks and 10 minutes for a drive-in-drive-out custom steering wheel retrim in leather. They're taking you for a ride bro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pmod 261 Posted October 17, 2013 In all seriousness though, if you're leaving your car with them and they're removing the wheel, trimming it and reinstalling, then $450 is a reasonable quote. You might be able to get $350 if you shop around and provide them with just the wheel frame sans airbag. Retrimming isn't outrageously hard to do, but it takes a very long time and the stitching is entirely done by hand, so it's both expensive due to the labour time and the annoyance of having to actually do it.

esky_mad 1 Posted October 21, 2013 As pmod said it is a pain to do steering wheel trims, dont expect quote's to get much better than $400. Like most legit trim jobs there is alot of hours involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
