Default New leather wheel

I had a 2012 impala come in my place of work for and LOF and NYSI and noticed soon as I got in the car the wheel felt soo much softer and smoother than mine. So I ordered one from gm parts direct and was surprised when it came with cruise and stereo switches installed ready to go, plus now it matches my shifter handle. It was a super easy install, about 10min and worth the 130bucks.

Wow, nice upgrade. I still have the stock wheel but I made the upgrade to the leather wrapped shift **** - that alone was a major improvement.

Looks nice! I wrapped both of my car's steering wheels and they both feel like a whole new wheel. It's crazy how such a little thing can make such a difference in a car.

Is there a GM part number for that wheel? Also, where can I get the leather shifter handle? Been looking...
