Steering Wheels

The alcantara on my steering wheel is kind of shot. Has anybody done anything interesting from a customization standpoint? Pictures?

I replaced mine with an all Alcantara steering wheel. The pic of the wheel installed was taken in my garage at night so it doesn't look great so I attached the pics of it before the install. All of the buttons work just like my factory wheel.

You might want to try Sonax Alcantara cleaner on your wheel before you give up on it. Really good stuff.

I am simply stunned at the results of using Sonax. Both right and left side were equally worn. The right side is what you can achieve when your wheel looks as bad as the left side.

Thanks for the comparo pic! That has convinced me to try it. I've been hesitant because I figured it wouldn't be able to make that much of a diff after several years of compaction.
