    Coby's would be $295 for leather + $300 core. Add'l $25 for top stripe. Honestly don't mind the price but wanted to see what the current options are.


    Curious as to how much your guys is charging as I'd love to go for the older textured leather as well

      He definitely charges more but his work is amazing and again, I like the textured OEM leather over the new smooth leather.

        Just contacted Coby, the price is good but he stated he wraps over the original leather and doesn't do full replacement and since I prefer full replacement that's a no go for me.

          I went round and round on this and in the end decided to spend the extra on a new OE wheel. Every other option was a trade off in some way and for the thing in the car you touch most I didn't want to compromise.

            O dang, I knew it was too good to be true for a straight swap(no downtime), full material replacement for that price. I guess with that suspicion, I'll continue my search and probably hit up Kip's guy

              I've mentioned him before but he does great work. Doesn't just retrim the wheel and uses OEM textured leather, but also has the smooth, modern look if you want. It's more than Coby but still way less than a brand new wheel. Don't really see a trade off with him personally. Maybe wait time?
