I can see adding it to the seats would grap clothes and suits better, but it's a little different when we're talking about what we're grabbing at with our hands, in this case...


It's on the wheel and shifter for increased friction for better grip for sure. What I'm saying is for me personally, I have no plans for tracking my car, so I prefer looks rather than function as far as the wheel and shifter. Based on past items I have had with suede, be it real or simulated, it gets rather grungy looking after a couple years.
