Don't feel bad - the '08 interiors sucked. My steering wheel still looks great (I'm also in FL), but virtually every piece covered by that rubberized coating crap just disintegrated in less than 2 years, while the car was still under warranty and had ~25K miles. I could not have been more careful, and barely touched anything. I took all those pieces off and had them hydro-dipped, and they've been fine ever since.
Unfortunately, I had to have the pieces hydro-dipped 2 times. The first time I sent them to one of this site's sponsors. They advertised their work as "Best in the Industry", but the quality was horrendous. Had to get assistance from the mods here and my CC company to get the refund.
This is bad work:
Second time I sent them all the way to a shop in Montana:
As a fellow "base" owner, I can tell you a good LSD transforms the car. Lots of choices, but I have a Quaife in mine now. Even the used OEM VLSD I tried first was a big difference, though.

Very true^^^ I have VLSD swapped in my base and it wakes the car up. I plan to get 4.08s and a good diff....just haven't decided on one yet since I have more options now that I have a "non base" pumpkin and stub axels.
