Plus a closeup of the better style of stitching , it's way smoother and not pulled like the genuine wheel's stitching .
I think it's called a baseball stitch .

Cost would be about $160.00 US plus freight , I also forgot to mention that he puts an extra 1 mm foam under the leather , makes the wheel a tiny bit bigger which is better but it also gives a very nice feel , hard to put into words , it has a little bit of give , just nicerer !!

Yes it has the folding power mirrors , they also vibrate to get any ice off and have air jets that blow on them to get rid of condensation .
One of the things I like best is the wipers going to intermitant when you stop and going to a slower speed if you are already on intermitant !!
