Welcome to the Club. I know wheelskins is a popular product which looks decent... though I myself am waiting for an opportunity to re-do my whole entire interior and saving up for it which is why I just bough a slip on cover (not the best way to go but it at least it's better than nothing.. for the shift **** I went with a Walmart leather one (for now) since it's a cheap fix. I took my center console apart and spray painted it myself which turned out really nice. My advice is... do what you can for now to improve the interior a little and save up for a re-vamp. It's what I'm doing because I know that there's no real way to completely fix every little thing until you actually have the money to do so. Hope this helps.

Check out Redline Tuning in the Vendor Forums... They are looking to do a free leather wrap on some GS wheels. I was going to do it but found a new take off instead.

Why not upgrade the steering wheel to one with wood inserts or get one in better condition?
