curious if anyone has tried to swap a new style steering wheel or not? My leather is looking rough on my wheel. The new replacements are over $350. The new style wheels are half that. Or, has anyone recovered theirs?

I'm thinking of trying out an Acadia full leather wheel. I can get one cheaper than getting one recovered. The airbag looks exactly the same and I think I can swap over the controls and be golden!

I am going to swap out my PPV steering wheel for a new leather 07-14 wheel. The OEM price was only $187 for the full wheel with audio and cruise controls!

I was looking into one as well. I ended up having mine rewrapped since I was having the seats and carpet redone.
It's still in the shop. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Are you still looking for a new steering wheel with cruise and audio controls? I have one for $90 plus shipping

Not a good shot of the wheel, but it has red stitching to match the stitching on the seats.

I love the smell of new foams, upholstery and glue. It’s interesting that preserving/ restoring/ repairing your ride is now considered custom. There’s nothing better than personalizing the ride you want to what was never offered at the time. The technology is moving so fast you can build it better than buy it and still have jing left over to take a few weeks vacation somewhere.
