I live in Washington and just bought a blood-red 2009 Pontiac G6. I’ve tried walmart, fred meyer’s, and autozone for car accessories but I’m not finding a wide or impressive enough selection of car mats/steering wheel/seat covers. I want something fairly flashy (I’m a twenty year old guy who just bought his first car.) Does anyone know any good stores in the Seattle area or any websites that could set me up right?
Steering Wheel Covers
Once in a while there occurs a need for car owners to change the décor of their cars, which could include a complete alteration from the seats to the steering wheel. The décor of the car cannot be complete if the steering wheel is not inline with the rest of the car interior. There is also need to protect the steering wheel so that it can serve as it is meant in the car for a long period of time. When going out to look for a steering wheel cover the car owner should consider the price of the covers. Currently, the market is awash with steering wheel covers at different prices for car owners to choose. The prices of the steering covers can range between and and the car owner should be able to choose that which best fits with their tastes and preferences. They should be able to determine the quality of the steering cover based on various aspects, which include but are not limited to price.
Steering wheel covers come in different materials among them sheepskin, leather, cloth, vinyl, terrycloth and wool. Car owners can choose from the different materials available for use in their cars. If one would rather use a leather steering wheel cover they should understand that leather comes in varied grains. Additionally, it is important to also note that top grain leather costs more than low grain leather and it is also of better quality. People that prefer to match their steering wheel covers with the rest of the car interior will not be disappointed as they search out well-matched steering covers. This is because manufacturers considering consumers like these produce these covers in a wide range of colors for clients to choose. It is vitally important to choose the color as one chooses the cover as it is an important element to consider.
The place where one goes to shop for steering wheel covers also matters if they looking too get quality covers and at a good deal. Some of the best places from where one can buy a steering wheel cover are like upholstery shops, dealerships for new cars and mail order (catalogs). When buying steering wheel covers one should also consider the grip. The available range for thickness ranges from regular grips to Ultra-Grip. Car owners are able to choose from Ultra Grip, which offers ultra thickness, Power Grip, which offers extra thickness and Sure Grip, which offers regular thickness.
It is advisable to first measure the dimensions of the steering wheel before buying covers. The relevant dimensions one should measure are the circumference and the diameter. Alternatively, the car owner can furnish the manufacturer with the model and year the vehicle was made so that they may get the dimensions required. Some steering wheel covers are designed to stretch or slip on the steering wheel while others may need to be sewn onto the wheel. Those that need to sewn onto the steering wheel come with a needle and lacing cord that will help the car owner to be able to install the cover.

Hi 
My 2000 BMW 323ci has been a fantastic car, but I bought it almost 10 years ago. In 10 years of ownership, I’ve raised a boy since from 2 to 12, so there’s been quite a bit of wear inside! Can anyone tell me what the little sliding door is called that covers the storage spot between the two front seats? Also, can I repair, panit or replace the steering wheel buttons that have had the paint rubbed off, or would that require an entirely new wheel?
Here is a pic of the "little sliding door" between the seats, and also where it was before it came off:

Here, you can see the paint rubbed of the steering wheel buttons:

Thanks so very much for your help! I will choose a best answer quickly!

I got a 91 Toyota mr2 that I scrapped parts off. I’m taking out the engine and trans, along with suspension. No rear tires. I stripped the interior and a couple of wiring harnesses retains a steering wheel with airbag, interior carpeting, and seats, drivers side door panel, heater core, dash harness.. windshield is cracked but all other glass including t-tops are fine. mr2s are rare so they’ll be sought after a bit more. no tailights
You want to read? Only the first chapter as a teaser. I hope you like it. I do want some good critisism, if that’s possible. Here you are. The first chapter of "I’m The Undead".
Prologue
Maybe it was because I was stupidly looking for a shoulder to rest on. Perhaps it started out as a friendly, sunny day, in a creepy, dusty classroom. But I think, if I’m not mistaken, that it must have started with my pet hamster. Now, you may be wondering what I’m talking about. What in the hell could a pet hamster do that was so horrible? First of all, it wasn’t really the hamster’s fault. Second of all, it was inevitable that I was going to make some psychotic enemies. And third of all, the only way to figure out how this happened, how I died, is to listen to the story and try to keep a straight face. No joke, because this really happened…
PART ONE
Chapter 1
“B-b-b-b-bad to the bone…” the radio stuttered to a halt at my favorite part of the song. I hit the dashboard with my fist and it started to smoke. My mom gave me a warning look. I shrugged with an angelic smile but as she turned the steering wheel to the left, I managed to tug off my shoe and give it a few hard slaps. Bam bam BOOM! It began to play.
She snatched my shoe away from me and threw it back into my lap. She gave me another warning look and turned back to the steering wheel. At least the radio was back on. The song had already ended, though, and a sappy love song was playing. I sighed and turned the cursed radio off. Mom gave me a pity-filled smile and patted my knee.
“You’ll be fine, Jakkalen. This is the best school around.” I gave a harrumph and turned to look out the window. This was the only school around. How could such a small town have such fancy buildings and no schools? How could we get the “best” school and house (in my opinion) in town?
I looked out the windshield again and held my breath. Maybe she wouldn’t notice? A tiny school was partly hidden behind some pine trees. It was brown and green and I probably wouldn’t have seen it except that I picked up the silhouettes of people scrambling over logs and chasing each other.
Mom turned her right blinker on and swerved the old red Toyota pick-up truck down the pine needle path. I groaned. Of course I couldn’t be that lucky. She had just as good eyesight as I did. I made goo-goo eyes at her.
“Please! Stop before it’s too late. Take me back to Maryland!” She shook her head with a small smile and I sank down into the seat. She came to a halt right in front of the school. I slid out. It was an old building. Brown roofing partly covered with tree bark and pine cones and…squirrels? A little black squirrel stared at me with interest. I quickly looked down. Who knows? It might have rabies.
The siding was a dark green speckled with light that filtered weakly through the trees. Logs were scattered all around which boys and girls my age were climbing over and exploring. They didn’t even look up.
I walked slowly to the front door of the high school and was amazed at how big it actually was. There were probably 5 stories and probably a small number of giant rooms. I stood in the doorway studying the hall. Wooden flooring and a chandelier seemed to be the only thing remotely similar to furnishings. But there was a staircase to the left that probably led to more schoolrooms and there were three doors. One door was in the wall to the left by the staircase, another one in front of me, and one to my right. Oh yippee, more classrooms.
I turned to leave and jumped. Everyone was staring at me. They had stopped their games and sat precariously on their logs to study me. Somehow, Mom had slipped away unnoticed. Their staring made me self-conscious. I had on a pair of generic blue jeans that flared out. I had brown sandals with beads and lots of braiding. My shirt was an indigo one with cookie monster on it saying “C is for Cookie.” I turned pink. Maybe it would have been better to go to school naked rather than wear this shirt. Didn’t they know it was rude to stare?
A blonde girl smirked and her three brunettes frowned at me. The boys had covered their mouths and had a coughing fit where they exchanged teary-eyed glances. I knew they were laughing. A girl with dark brown hair that curled around her shoulders looked at me with a twinkle in her hazel green eyes. Another girl sat on a log with straight black hair and black eyes circled in a thin coat of eyeliner. She laughed outright. Not afraid to stand out, huh? I think I might like her.
I cleared my throat. Man, when would the teachers come? And speak of the devil, a small Prius slid to a smooth halt. More cars began to arrive before the first car could unload. The girl with curly hair called out to me urgently.
“Hey you! Girl! Get over here before you get into trouble!” I smiled in relief. I took three long strides and ended up by her and the blonde prissy pants. I already didn’t like her.

Dang. It stopped half way through the chapter. I’ll put the rest up when someone asks me to. Come on! Ask me!
I’m putting more up now. I’m sorry. I don’t think I’m ready to email anyone the story yet. But you can read the things I’ve already edited and deem acceptable for public.
WORD TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED. I’ve JUST OPENED A BLOGGER ACCOUNT UNDER THE NAME SOLO_GRL. COME CHECK ME OUT! I’LL GET SOMETHING POSTED! (caps are intentional.)
Ok so the car is a 1999 cadillac Seville and the battery light turns on when i turn the wheel as far as it goes to the left. i tested the battery at Pep Boys and they said it was bad, Auto-zone said it was still good, so IDK. I think its bad because when i was driving with the heated seats, radio, whippers and heater on, the car shut off on me.
So this past week I’ve been paranoid thinking that my heater core in my 96 Grand Am was bad, well today I realized something pretty strange, only the bottom part of my hands ( that’s on the steering wheel) smell like something strong..it smells like oil. Nothing else on my body, not even my arms smell like it, and the person in the passengers side seat doesn’t smell like it either..which is kind of weird since the vents are blowing all kinds of air on us. So then I smelled my steering wheel and there is a veryyyy strong smell on there. So do you think there is something wrong with my car making my steering wheel smell like this? Or do you think the guy I got the car from had oil or something on his hands while doing work to the car? Also, is there something I could use to wash it off? I don’t think plain ol water will work. Thanks

I plan on buying the latest model to come out by Toyota…the all new redesigned full luxury and highly anticipated "2011 Toyota Recall Sedan" These will have 3 gas peddles and 4 brake peddles just in case any or all of them fail. It includes an extra pop up steering wheel as well in case that fails like the Corollas. And extra rust proofing on the trucks so they don’t break in two while driving…oh yes, there’s even a triple drive shaft installed in case the other two crack and fall off while driving. Every thing seems to be covered on the all new 2011 Toyota Recall luxury sedan. They’ve even changed the cheap silver painted plastic from spray painted artificial silver to splatter black, red, green or, purple for the dash board. You can even get the seat fabric that color, as long as you realize it will be made of recycled baby diapers which have been splatter dyed for high quality. But order early..they may be the only safe Toyotas on the highway.
..Gone.. (below) …uhhh, let me guess, your a Republican right? Did you forget what 8 years of Bush did? He caused this. He was your savior, where is he now, but living in luxury while the rest of the planet suffers. He hides like Sadam did in his secret hole because all the world hates him for the devastation he reeked on human civilization. Hile Bush..king of the asholes
