Leather o my steering wheel had worn out, I did try some leather repair paint before and worked well for couple years. But this time the repair/paint didnt work well.
I did try before on other cars stuff from "WheelSkins.com", but those wouldnt match on gts wheel, as the cross-section -grip- of this wheel varies around circumference.
So I played around with custom cut-to-fit leather skin and stitched over. Also tried same for shift knob to match.
I guess the steering wheel job came out nice, but stitches on shift knob needs to be redone with a little more care !

a second attempt with shift knob wrap.
Not that perfect, but guess this now looks better than the first job

Unfortunatly the road with Lumina .. "accidentally" came to end.
Luckily no person was hurt .. but the car ended to wreck because insurance won't cover due to high costs of parts & repairs relative to car's market value.

Not good. At least nobody was hurt!
Maybe a bit early, but got any ideas of a replacement?
