If you are not interested in picking up the needle to sew it. The other option is getting a leather wheel off a higher trim model or Mazdaspeed 3 if you want red stitching. Ebay or junkyard would be a good source to start with. Swapping the wheel is much easier to me. Basically disconnect Battery, 2 bolts + 2 harnesses on the wheel to remove air bag. Then another bolt in center holding the wheel body. Once you have the wheel off. Swapping the buttons are pretty straight forward.

It's one of those things I'd like to do one of these days, but I really don't want to blow several hundred dollars on an OEM wheel. I miss the leather wheel in my 3.

I have a leather wheel off a 3 in mine. Paid $40 for it from the junk yard.

Question for you. Did you buy just the skeleton and swap over all of your hardware (buttons, airbag, cover)? I'm curious because I installed a pioneer carplay stereo. The paperwork with the steering wheel control adapter specifically states it utilizes factory steering wheel controls and includes things like the call/answer buttons. So presumably it would work with the phone buttons if I swapped a wheel with those in. Would be a nice addition.

I swapped the buttons over. Same airbag.
