It replaces the centre air vents chap.

If you look closely, you'll see the vent workings attached to the back of the pod.

The angle should have these facing me in the drivers seat.

Was a fluke I found on eBay!

Guy had it custom made for his show car, but never installed it! He then sold the car, and sold this after that.

This was previously the standard flat bottom version in full leather. It now is thicker (an extra layer of leather was added before the top final layer was added), has alcantara side pieces, a red leather band at the 12 o'clock position, and all stitching is in OEM blue.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

It's a UK firm called Royal Steering Wheels.
![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Here's the website: http://royalsteeringwheels.com
Cost was around £150 or so. They really have done a great job creating what I asked for.
Thicker all over with alcantara grips, red leather racing band at the 12 o'clock position, leather top and bottom, and light blue stitching to match the OEM theme.
![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Can't wait till Friday night. Will just be me and my new steering wheel for 80 or so glorious miles! Lol.
Love how it's come out. They did a great job!

your build is proper mate. i always admired the UK license plates vs. USA's. i have an 08 SGM. i'm lowered on Tein springs, but going back to stock. now i'm thinking maybe swift springs; i'm undecided now. also, you wheels look similar to my Vorsteiner wheels. picture attached.

Hey Guys,
So, here's a quick teaser photo I got from my carbon skinner yesterday!![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
The top piece is the triple gauge pod, can be a bit confusing, but he wanted to show me the whole lot in one photo. Love the uniformity of the weave throughout the panels.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
