Whoa! I can see why you wanted to find a new wheel! That old one looks pretty trashed!
Congrats on the ebay find!

So you overbid me....... lol.
Wood-steering wheels from the 2000-2001 es's are pretty inexpensive.
For the 92-94 owners you have to buy the airbag too Those run anywhere from 200-500 (and its rare to find only the driver's side air bag).

Just looking at the picture again, there seems to be either damage or dirt on the left leather side...you might have to have the leather re-stitched.

I've had my woodgrain steering wheel for a couple of months now & I love it. Found it off car-part.com . . on eBay they were running for $400 +.

Once I start parting out I'll probably put it up on CL.

Do you mind posting the trim code for your tan interior?
I found a CHEAP wood wheel on ebay and the code is WZ03

I also needed a drivers side airbag from the 97-01 model.
Someone posted a gray one up for 30 bucks shipped
A brown one, which comes with driver and passenger side air bag goes for $150..
My experience with non-oem dyes are bad....but $30 hmmm

So the trim codes don't match the wheel
Can someone confirm the color trim code for a gray interior 97-01?
