steering wheel shift knob problem

Anyone else have the problem like me that the steering wheel leather is wearing away just like the shift knob. and the A in acura lost its chrome finish? Its a 05 and I was wondering if anyone knows if this is lifetime garantee and can be changed under goodwill? I am un-happy with this issue.

This will fall under "normal wear and tear". You'll have to spend $ to do it, most likely.

the leather is loosing color? I remember one guy posted about that, and then per the recommendation of a few he cleaned it with the woolite solution and removed a ton of dead skin and dirt that had accumulated over the years. As far as the A emblem, all you can really do is spray-paint it after carefully masking it up.

My 04 has 78K on it and the steering wheel hasn't lost it's color, its just a bit shiny now...

The steering wheel in my 04 with 69,000 miles has started to fade a little, but nothing horrible. My A is still shiny as new though
