Reply With QuoteWhy not treat your steering wheel to a bath in Luxol leather treatment. It'll soften it up, and make it wear better. Contact Meguirs(sp?) and see what they recommend for a leather steering wheel and our suede seats.

I've been looking for a drivers side seat cover that won't make the car look like ass. Nothing yet.

How are everyones steering wheels? Mine looks like new and I dont think my hands are super dry or anything. Is this just something that comes with mileage? Or do i have an odd wheel?
Not having too much problem with the upholstery. Don't notice the stitching coming loose or the seat belt problem. I did mention before that getting stains outta the seats was no problem.
The one pet peeve that I have so far, which is off topic, but when people scuff up the black interior with their dirty shoes either the passenger side or when getting in and out of the back seat. Grr!
i put my back seats down that way no one can have a ride...i only allow one passenger...and im very picky about who i give a ride in the si:DOriginally posted by Spidey

No problems with steering wheel...No problems with seat fabrics...Have 22K km's already...must have gotten lucky.
Before I even got my car, read how a couple people had problems with their seatbelts rubbung. So it was one of the first things I checked when I got my car. Sure enough, in the proper and comfortable driving position it would always rub.
My solution: Those silly shoulder pads. Yes, the ones that say "Powered by Honda" (couldn't find any plain black ones)
(edit: There is now about a half inch gap between the belt and the seat)
Minus 100 cool points for Ricey look.
Plus 1000 cool points because they are actually functioning as I intended and preventing wear.
I'd rather get bugged for having them, then get bugged cause I have holes in my seats in two years.:D
good idea...but if you want plan black ones just unstich the cloth that says "powered by honda"
I thought of doing that, but thought the pads may look worse with holes and freys(sp) from the stiching if I tried removing the Powered by Honda part.
Not to keen on wasting the money I paid for them if it didn't work out.
if your having problems with the seat belt rubbing, just GROW A LITTLE. . . jk
I don't have that problem since my shoulder is above the part of the seat where the head rest starts.
Wow you guys are more obsessive compulsive than I am.
Well I know I'm too tall for my car because my right knee rests on the right lower dash just to the left of second gear.:(
It's kinda shinny there now. Later it'll be a hole. I'm 7'5"
:D
Oh, stop...its suede...it wears...deal with it. Or else, get fatter/taller. I'm a tall guy and thus my seat belt never rubs the suede. The pass. side is a different story, because I have a short girlfriend...oh well....suede wears...Originally posted by Si4U2NV

A lot of people,(if not everyone) is experiencing that problem. Just think of what that spot will look like years from now! Not good.
Other than that though....the stitching is holding up quite well.
:D
