Steering wheel...

Does anyone know where to get an aftermarket steering wheel, if they even exist?
My shit is so worn out it's driving me nuts, looks like f'in bigfoot drove my car after a sweaty ass 10 mile jog and just completely vaporized my leather.
thanks.

A new steering wheel or just new leather ON the wheel?

The leather kit is about 50 or 60 bucks.

Yeah, mine looks like crap too, When I bought it the dealership had put this el cheapo steering wheel cover on there and I feel like Im driving a Bus. I'm wondering if it is better to completely tear off all the old leather (as it is by itself already) and replace with a re wrap kit, or just re wrap the leather over the old stuff???

And... where is the best place to get the leather kit from... Does Acura sell one?

I had been looking around in the web at many salvage yards around the country and found some places that have used once. I bought two from different places and kept the one that was in perfect condition. It cost me $70.00 and I put it in myself. Not a difficult job but took me few tries to get everything working.
Or you can send yours to this place and they will reupholsted it. Only catch is, you won't be able to use the car for a week. To do leather only, it cost around $250.00.
Or, you can buy an old one and send it to them.
I have the old one I am trying to get rid of for cheap, if you need let me know.
Here is the link to two sites..
