And the result.

Wheel in:





And the best part of the wheel swap, I had spectacular instructions from all you guys, and it was an hour and one tumbler full of coffee job, with no cussing involved! Haha. All in all, a good way to spend my afternoon!

Came out great. How did you prep before dying it? Also be careful. The sweat, oils and dirt from your hands might play havoc on your dye job.

I sanded down the leather extremely thoroughly and cleaned thoroughly before applying adhesion promoter. Then leather dye. Then clearcoat. Lots of clear coat. Lol. It will be interesting to see how long it holds up. Been almost a year on my leather esky shift handle that i died tan to match my interior, and the leather has held up amazing well. But I dont grab the shift handle anywhere near as much as the steering wheel. Lol. But I wipe it down with a little bit of leather cleaner on a clean microfiber just about every couple days cuz I can't stand a dirty steering wheel. So we will have to see if that helps it last longer. But know that I know easy it is to remove the steering wheel, I can redye the leather if I need to.

The second half of the photos to go along with the last update. It was getting dark so I couldn't get good shots of my new grille assembly.

wow. nice job on that front clip man! came out great. since you have the lower chrome grille, the top looks great as well to compliment it.
looks so much better color matched with the rest!
and yeah, these come off SO easy compared to even an OBS. couple clips, one bolt and pull!
you're on a roll! keep going

Im glad it didn't take a puller for the job. Lol. Grabbed the top and bottom and wiggled like everyone said! I'm slowly upping my skills to work on this thing when necessary.

I used the base coat color from my hydrodip kit and painted it.
