Man, at least half of the seating material on the 03-04s is vinyl. We have leather seating surfaces only.


Cheap.

G35 Steering Wheel........?

You should be glad yours is still in good shape. I've seen several posts about
their wheels falling apart.....'07s too and the stealership won't cover them on
warranty. If that happned to me I'd be putting one of my 13s up someones
a$$!

yea, my steering wheel is wearing away on the top from putting my hand there so much.. i don't think it's leather cuz if it was it would not have fallen apart or deteriorated the way it did..

As for any dealership issues, keep you hands in your pockets very deep and make the management happy when you shake hands with them.

it depends on dealers.. warranty does not cover wear and tear.. some dealers will do it.. other thats been audited and debited back hundreds of thousands of dollars will not (after the lesson was learned).. however if there is a function on the steering wheel that.. actually *achem... if there is a switch/button that fails to work as designed then you should be able to get it replaced
