The seats are all leather.

The seats are all leather.
I should know - my interior was also done by Classic Soft Trim

I put one on my accord when the rubber started to crumble and people thought it was a factory leather wrapped wheel.

I posted several months ago about wanting to see a monthly photo contest for forum members. There was no replies so I dropped it.
We could choose ten or so pictures and then have a poll to decide the winner. Just something for fun.
Well, anyway...this is just the type of picture I was talking about. Absolutely priceless. You have my vote!!

LOL - I'll lose the steering wheel cover if I can get some grip from the original. I don't know if there's silicone on it or is it just that slippery from the factory? I tried rubbing it vigorously with a terrycloth and alcohol. Any other tips on getting some grip into the OEM leather wheel? Maybe I need some of that special mud they rub major league baseballs with.

Get the K.Y.personall lubricant of your hands , and were ever else youve had it and that should help you get a grip on the steering wheel instead of yourself .

Tight!
The Steering wheel reminds me of my old Chevy Impala. Take care of that. You took the time and money to do everything else. It's what your always holding on to and looking at, but if comfort matters???

I'm not sure about that yellow instrument cowl. I bet it reflects wickedly on the windshield.

Yes I think the yellow shell over the cowl looks great but would be unbearable in practice. Ever leave a sheet of paper on the dash?

Damn! Withering peer pressure on the steering wheel issue 
Okay! Okay! Hey, I said it was temporary!
It's gone now - some cleanings, rubdown with glycerine helped. Probably most important the weather has gotten warmer and so skin oil/sweat is breaking in the wheel leather. Grip is pretty good now and getting better.
So we can put that unfortunate style excursion behind us.
What size fuzzy dice should I get for the rearview mirror?
