Stuck in a love triangle
I remember looking at this a while back and was jealous as hell. Nubo how has that leather been holding up after 15 months? Did you ever end up getting the steering wheel done in yellow to complete the package?

I haven't done the steering wheel. I got some swatches recently from Wheelskins, but their yellow is nowhere near a match; it is much darker. I've just gone with the stock wheel so far; I rub some sports "grip cream" into it once in a while to keep it from being too slippery. Haven't found the perfect dressing to keep it grippy. Ran across some stuff on the web called "Hammanol" that I might try...
I've made a couple other "yellow additions". I recently painted the fender vents lightning-yellow. The thread is in the "exterior" section. And a custom-engraved powder-coated yellow VooDoo shift ****, which is a good match. I've got paint left over from the vents so I'm eyeing some other stuff. The center **** for the audio is a good candidate. Also (cautiously) thinking about the bezels around the interior air ducts.
