Well, that pic is from the Honda website and what I have is definitely not synthetic and those are not "dimples", they're perforations. It's also real moo **** cow leather (as Lewis Black would say). Not sure why you're so defensive. I'm merely presenting another option for those interested. I stand by my comment that compared to the Si leather steering wheel, the OEM accessory leather cover looks like ****, in my opinion because it doesn't cover the spokes like the Si version. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, though.

Also, if you can install a steering wheel cover in 30 minutes, it's either el cheapo or you ain't doing it right. I know this from installing 2 Wheelskins covers in the last year. To get it laced correctly and pulled tight is 2 hours minimum, provided your hands don't turn to hamburger.
