Wheelskins Covers for Camry...any good?

Hi

I was surfing this site and ebay, and noticed some people mentioned the wheelskins steering wheel covers as a good alternative to changing up the steering wheel. I wanted to replace mine with an aftermarket one, but decided against it so i can keep my airbag.

Has anyone put these wheelskin covers on their camrys, and if so, do you like it? Is it worth the $40 that most places charge? Does it feel pretty close to a OEM leather steering wheel? and how hard is it to do the lacing with the needle?

thanks for the help

Wheelskins are top quality. Wait for a nice warm afternoon, set yourself up a couple of hours to complete, then, most importantly, take your time. No need to find someone to do it for you. DYI
