    I bought mine at Gotelli's Speed Shop in South San Francisco a few years ago. It's black, and still looks brand new. I highly recommend this cover! I spent almost 3 hours doing mine-I wanted it perfect. OP, yours looks great.

    there the best covers you can get, I've took mine off and used it on 3 different Tacoma and still looks great. Wheelskin will send you new thread if you ask for free.

    Looks good! Debating if I should swap out entire steering wheel with a custom. Don't want to loose airbag though. This may be a great alternative!

    Did y'all order the 15 1/2 x 3 3/4 size for the Tacoma? Mine is a 2003. I've had them on previous trucks and loved them and may get one for the Tacoma now.
