Thought some of you guys here might be interested in this. I have a red leather steering wheel with red stitching from a Japan-only S-Edition MR2 Spyder. It's in fairly decent shape, but ideally the red leather could use a re-dye. Red dye kits are available on Amazon for cheap if interested. You'll need a 7th gen Celica/Rav4/MR2 airbag to work with this. Feel free to PM or email me at amcmoe @ gmail.com with a reasonable offer. $30 is not a reasonable offer. Send me an email and I can send you high-resolution pictures since I see Photobucket reduced their resolution limit...

I'm sorry but where do you see cracks? The red is scuffed, no cracking at all. You sand it with in varying grits and re-dye it. GTFU of my thread unless you know what you're talking about... If it was cracked I would have said that.

lol...I do know what I'm talking about because I've dealt with leather before.
Why would you ever sand it down either? That just wears away the material even more.
The only time you re-dye leather is when it is faded, not when it's cracking.
Once leather is cracked, scuffed, ripped, torn or whatever, it's basically done. At that point you pretty much have to get it reupholstered if you want it to look new again.


and it's GTFO, not GTFU....
