reasoning is the leather for my Jeep would be about $80 (last time I checked a year ago) and then a few hours putting it in.

No attempt to hijack thread but has anyone found a shop that can repair a carbon fiber Porsche wheel?

Suggestion
They say the rip-repair compound isn't for hard leather like dash and door pulls, but frankly before I spent $500 I'd give the $50 kit a try.

(Pics?) Not long ago I redyed/painted my shifter and e-brake leather using a $50 kit I got online.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone ever had their steering wheel "re-leathered"? If so, how much $$$ did it cost.
I talked with a shop (in Chicago area) and they said it would be "about" $500 and take 3 days -
That is way too much!
I know that we have seen a place in Europe with that kind of price but it was a complete rebuild of the wheel with a ton of options on what you wanted... someone has to remember they link?
PS. Where are you at in Chciago, we have quite a few members here.
What color is your wheel and what condition is it in? (Pics?) Not long ago I redyed/painted my shifter and e-brake leather using a $50 kit I got online. They were both worn through the finish to the bare leather beneath, and they are sand beige so it really showed. Somewhere if you search my threads you can find before and after pics. I would say unless your wheel is ripped, you could get a good result DIY. They say the rip-repair compound isn't for hard leather like dash and door pulls, but frankly before I spent $500 I'd give the $50 kit a try. You could redo it annually for the next 9 years and still be ahead. .
I could maybe see $500... reasoning is the leather for my Jeep would be about $80 (last time I checked a year ago) and then a few hours putting it in. So without a template, starting fresh, and that it's a Porsche, I could see it taking a few hours to cut, and a few more to mount, all coming up to that amount.
Go to Dallas Custom Steering Wheel website. I've had three steering wheels recovered by Don and he does fantastic work. It will come back looking brand new or better if you want "fatten" the steering wheel. Under $500. The first time I used him many years ago he was around $300-350 but his prices have risen dramatically in the last few years.
Cavello 340mm, ships w/airbag
another Rennlister assisted with the install (thanks Reid) as I was a bit confused
about the electrics
great upgrade, especially when entering / exiting the vehicle
You won't be disappointed. Post some photos when you get them back.
When I had the 993 I had CarsDream thicken it and add the grips at 10 and 2. I prefer the four spoke steering wheels in the earlier cars. Just don't care for the feel.
Can also try Alan Gun http://www.aglausa.com/p/home.html
996 wheels are $249 per the online pricelist. I had them do a wheel when I was restoring my 70 Chevy and they did a great job. They have a loaner program while they are working on yours.

Haven't used them for wheels but recovered my auto shifter in 928, excellent quality!
