I did,nt do it myself I sent my steering wheel to cali were they -re-leathered it and wood grained it. The rest of the wood grain was ordered at my friends shop I think the company is called b&e Its factory matched wood grain. -post some pics of your RL maybe I can give some help if you want.

You should replace the shifter plate surround with the chrome plate on the 2004 RL.

18 inch rims tire size is 225/45/18 the ride is smooth. I was a little scepticle at first about changing rim and tire size.It really worked out well not hardly any differance from the stock rims and tires.I deffinatly would not go bigger than 18s anything bigger makes the car ride horrible although a bigger rim might look nice but thats about it.

I dont remember where I got them, but they are from Venom. I took them to my local "car guy" he installed them and set it all up. Not too much gain but just a little bit.
