Hello. How much to just redo the leather on the sides? Mine are a little worn out.

Also do you purchase the core steering wheels? I have a black all leather core from my 2007 w221 just collecting dust.

Hi. I'm interested in that exact same steering wheel, same color, etc. I took a look on your website, but couldn't find it. What's the cost to purchase and have it installed? I'm in Tracy, so I'm about 1.5 hours away from you.

Thanks,

Mike

EDIT: Nevermind.. I see $799 shipped. I'll contact you guys directly.

#1. I think it's funny that the heated wheel from Mercedes is only a $250 option. Any S class ordered on the east coast should have that option standard.

#2. I really wanted a car with one, until I realized that the ONLY portion that is heated is the LEATHER portion only on the wood wheel! I never hold the wheel where the leather is anyway, so it was really pointless.



#3. No one has a wheel that heats where the wood is. I find this very funny. That can't be that hard to do, but still, no one has done it. I remember years ago if you wanted the heated wheel option in the X5, they took the wood wheel away completely, and your wheel was leather only.

Is that because it's pointless and most didn't request it?

Actually Jason.
Im at MD rightnow where the weather outside is about freezing point,
Even with the heated leather only portion, i would have hated myself without it.

Also surprisingly i can drive the car very comfortably with my hand(s) on leather portion only!!
