    My 2006 interior still looks great, except for the steering wheel? What are my options to re-cover this, or is a new steering wheel a reasonable cost?

    Also, my console shift cover I used to always pop out and clean in the kitchen sink, but over the years it became all worn and stained. I bought a new one for $85 and it completely changed the interior look back to sharp and clean. Amazing what one focal piece can do to transform.

    I cleaned and spray painted my console cover. I did a faux carbon fiber look. It turned out well and is holding up well a couple of years in. I've seen several posts here about people stitching a replacement cover on. They look good too if you have the patience.

    I have used those Wheelskins before, and it's worth the effort if you're patient.

    That being said, good used steering wheels are reasonably priced and a lot quicker/easier. There was one in the FS section here, might still be?
