How long do they last? Having had one on several cars, including my Protege, they last about 10 years with absolutely no care, on a car parked outside. I replaced my original cover about 2 years ago (11 years old and about 160k+ miles), and it was still tight, just worn out where I hold the steering wheel. The cover on my father's old Cadillac is now about 15 years old, and due to lower mileage (and being garaged), it's doing fine. The tan cover on my mother's car is now 9+ years old (but only 48k miles), and still looks new (the car still looks new) thanks to being garaged all its life.

And having done 6-7 installs, it now takes about 45 minutes, once I get started. Adequate light is very important to see the holes. And it uses a big (but not sharp) needle to pull the thread. The kit comes with about 10 feet of thread, and you use most of it. So, after 100 pairs of holes, you have pulled about 500 feet of 1/16" thread through small holes, and it takes some pull to get the cover tight.

A whole bunch of metallic stickers (including 2 shift pattern decals) came with the leather **** that I got. It's a RAZO RA-68 (400 gram) shift ****. I got it at http://www.imotorgear.com for about $38.
Thanks! Can I get the stickers seperately?

I know that RAZO makes and sells separate shift pattern stickers. They even have embossed soft emblems.

Try to find a car accessory shop that specializes in Japanese brand (Razo, Levoc, Napolex, Carmate, etc) accessories and they should have these.
