So I tried sewing...

Stitched a new leather cover over the disgusting alcantara on my ZHP's steering wheel.

I am a fan.

Nice !

@100percentjake that turned out great. I, too, have been perplexed by the alcantara all the things fad. Pricked leather gives all the extra purchase you need without resorting to stringback driving gloves.

I much prefer leather or vinyl over most materials for steering wheels. Their would be super old school plastics. Like Bakelite era.

@100percentjake Hey, that’s pretty good! Is that really your first attempt? It came out nice.

[Shop-Teacher]

@100percentjake Nicely done!

[Qaaaaa]

How bad was the alcantara? I think another Oppo posted a cleaning guide a while back on Oldpositelock.

I do hate alcantara though.

[100percentjake]

@chariotoflove Yeah, never done this before.

[100percentjake]

@qaaaaa I didn't realize how bad it was until one day it was actually sticky and I realized what was going on. It was also torn in a few areas.

[Chariotoflove]

@qaaaaa Yeah, of the places to use the stuff, a steering wheel is the most baffling.
