I used some hand cream just to see what would happen, and it makes it look great again, almost brand new like, but that doesn't last more than a few hours since the cream gets into the leather, and onto my hands.

Is there something I can use that would stay on there longer? I was thinking something like black shoe polish of some sort... :S I know I could get it looking perfect with that, but I don't know if it would stick to my hands every time I grabbed the wheel. Any input on this would be great, and if not, then I'll maybe start a new thread, and hope someone notices it.

Thanks guys!

**update**
Yeah the guys at les schwab painted them black for me. I have no idea why, guess I'll have to give them a call and thank them as I was going to paint them black anyway.

I like Recaro's but i'm not up for spending 2k on seats alone. If someone has done this swap, I'd like to know which brand it was and how much $$$ they had to shell out for seats and brackets combined.

If so,, exactly which ones go to bank one?
