Default Steering Wheel Issue......Need Suggestions / Advice

I have an brand new 06' A4 2.0T and one of the options that came with the car is the dark walnut trim / Multi-function steering wheel.
It looks similar to the pic listed below, so use that as a reference point.

My question is this:

What would be a good suggestion for covering the top portion of the wheel. It looks great, but it tends to be a little "slick" for my taste and occasionally I feel like my hand is going to lose grip. The mid-section and sides of the steering wheel are covered with some of the nicest thin-leather grip I've ever felt on a wheel. Is there anything similar in an after-market product that I can add to the top portion? Any DIY ideas for makeshift solution that won't wreck the overall appearance of the steering wheel?

Please advise. Thanks!

I'm into it.
When you see the guy in the gloves and helmut show up at the SoCal GTG....it's just me.
Everyone else - watch yourselves.
