FS:Red leather "7th gen" steering wheel Options

[AMCMoe]

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...

You sand it down to smooth it back out. You vary the grit just like you would with wood, to get it smooth again. When it's scuffed and the color is no longer matching the surrounding un-scuffed leather, it needs re-dyed to match.

http://www.leatherique.com/do_it_your_self...ye_leather.html There's a good article on the process.

Of course reupholstering it would make it like new again, but I doubt anyone buying a used steering wheel would bother with that expense. You can get these for just under $500 new on eBay, so it's not worth the cost to reupholster. A cheap kit to make it look presentable again would be the cheap way to have a pretty hard to come by wheel.

And yes, I'm aware it's GTFO - I was typing from my cell phone at the time and had a typo, my apologies.
