Incorrect. I reported the forum image uploading problems here, and the problem has *not* yet been fixed: Image uploader problems using iOS

By the way, I have the original (2003 5-speed) Savanna Beige shifter that I'd happy to make available as a donor if someone wants to restore it like Jake did. Of course, you probably already have your own donor.

Thanks, grc! I gotta say that refinished savanna beige steering wheel I saw you posted in another thread looked pretty darned good, too!

Glad they were helpful. Please let us know how your project goes!

Thanks, Jake. The key with the kit I used (Leather Magic) is the prep stage. It's fairly frightening as it removes most of the existing color and looks crappy. But you need to give something for the new paint to adhere to. But then, after cleaning thoroughly, and layering on a few coats of the color - it comes out pretty nice. It also "sealed" some of the loose stichting on the wheel.

We'll see how it holds up. Can always do it again I suppose. Thinking I may redo the seats, or at least the bolsters, every year or two anyway.
