'02 Sebring LXi Coupe 3.0L V6 (3G Eclipse Coupe)

This is my 1st post but I've lurked a bit. I'll spare everyone too long of story other than: My Grandmother, at the ripe age of 78 Years old, bought the little gem Brand New (it's biggest plus). She loved it - I always found it pretty horrible. I, somewhat reluctantly, ended up with it at 60K +/- Miles a few years ago before she passed, well into her 90's, & I still think it's pretty horrible at times but it's grown on me significantly. It's a 4th or 5th Spare car at this point but I find myself driving it often as it's my most economical 4-wheeled vehicle by a long shot.

Snobbish gripes aside, I'll never get rid of it. So, to ease my pain with that, I ask you experts the following:


1. Is there ANY known OEM Mitsubishi Steering Wheels With Wood Grain that will fit this car? "Fit" specifically requiring the OEM Airbag to also fit. That airbag can be my current one or otherwise. I don't care if it says Mitsubishi or Chrysler on the airbag IF that's the route I'm forced to go.

2. Heated Seats. Same basic question. Is there any known Mitsubishi vehicles that would've shared the same design (or similar enough!) of the OEM seats but with Heated Option?

Thank you for your time, Gentlemen!

If you can't find a drop-in heated seat, you might try an aftermarket seat heater that goes inside the seat, under the leather. I installed one from Dorman with separate elements for the seat cushion and seat back back in 2016, and I've been very happy with it. It took most of a weekend to do because I wanted a near-OEM installation, but it was well worth the time and energy.

I dont know of a factory wood grain steering wheel that will use the original air bag. Looks like the Galant had a wood steering wheel option . That one comes with the airbag, but I dont know if its a fit. These cars share a few things mechanically with the Galant so it might.

Between the No heated seats in this generation either, but like mentioned above, you can add them if mechanically and electrically inclined. The seats are relatively easy to take apart and remove the lower seat / pan and install the element.
