These are the guys I'll have fix mine if I can get a hold of them.
It's a Lexus, I'm going to have it done right.

Check out these guys: http://www.american-stitches.com/

My steering wheel was not wood and they put wood on it and put new leather. Came out perfect.

They also do restoration on weathered wood pieces.

It sounds like they do nice work. I don't want to put the car out of commission for 2 weeks (plus shipping time both ways) though.

Then send them a salvage wheel with your ash tray (to match).

Then you can keep using the car.
