Momo steering wheel issue....chime in please.
Well about a month ago I noticed the top of my factory momo steering wheel was starting to peel. Theres a mesh portion of leather at the top which is just glued on. Anyhow I peeled it completely off and was thinking about finding material and cutting it and re-upholstering/glue it back on myself. Im afraid it will look like crap if I use leather fabric so I was considering that cf 3m di-noc material.That too might not hold up but it may work. Ive also emailed derek@rexpeed to see if they would make me some type of carbon top or cap thatll fit and I can just use adhesive and stick it on like the dash pieces. Otherwise Ill just wait for an IX steering wheel to hit the marketplace. I thought the cf top might be unique.Here are pics of the piece in question. No one else seems to have had experienced this.
What do you guys think?

I have 75k miles on my evo now and Im second owner. I believe all warranties are out of the question. As for detachables or any type of quick release....Im clueless in that field.

I wouldnt waste the gas....Second owner bumper to bumper/drivetrain is only good up to 60k miles. If I didnt already know the answer Id call anyway before I drove there. If derek@rexpeed cant make me a direct fit cover top Im going to try the 3m di-noc. Its the edges or grooves Im worried about peeling after a month. If anyone is selling an IX black wheel let me know.

No-go for any type of custom piece because thered be no demand. Nice one off though. I guess Ill ask around a few shops and worst case scenario its ix wheel for me. May as well go black.
