As many of you know the 2009 G37 (The car I have) has a painted steering wheel spoke which scratches and chips in a very ugly way. I wanted to order a 3d steering spoke cover by B&I but for some reason it's no longer being made. It used to be listed on their website and third party sites but now it's gone. Does anyone know of a site where I can get a proper steering spoke cover? I really don't want to disassemble my steering wheel.

 

Why not paint it? I did!

I don’t have pictures on me ATM, but I was able to get my spokes painted gloss black! It did involve me removing the entire steering wheel, but I think it was well worth it.

edit: should have mentioned I painted the plastic trim, not the actual leather.

 

Have you asked interior shop to refinish worn leather? I had one repair redye a wheel for 60 bucks

 

I not interested in removing the steering wheel. I need to keep car operational and messing with the airbag / steering wheel alignment is too risky.

I'm talking about the spokes, not the wheel

 

Most interior shops can do whole wheel

 

you don’t need the trim to have the wheel on, and the alignment is nothing to be worried about, the wheel has a centre key.

I actually had work 5 hours after I decided to paint it (therefore I rushed!!) and slapped it back together. In hindsight, I should have just thrown the wheel and airbag back on. Consequently you won’t be able to have the controls for cruise, phone and radio, but the car will still steer!

 

I don't know how much that cover was. You can get new OEM trim for $110. My dealer said $130 to replace it. Not cheap, but that's the route I'm going. Interior is pretty much mint other then the SW trim. And you can re-finish the original piece when it's off the car and sell it if you are so inclined.
