Looks great Kid, glad you're happy with the result. Just curious, did you consider the possibility of having the thumb rests at 10 & 2? Not sure how useful they really are but thats the way it is on the 430's and I think it looks good.

DetMich1 yes I consider the possibility of having the thumb rests at 10 & 2. Didn't want the same thing that everyone else has on a stock GS. I wanted something different

the wheel came out REALLY well...i just wish they could do something and get that chrome L badge done in the center when they mod these with the wood, that would really complete the look.....every time i look at one of these AS re made wheels thats the first thing that catches my eye...the big tan center of the wheel and noooo chrome badge...it breaks it up just right otherwise i feel like theres just too much of the one color and the wood accents dont look quite like they should.,.this is just my own opinion..im sure there are people out there that would rather have it without...and i know some have tried with the L badge from the engine bay from i forget which model lex that sort of fits... but ive yet to see any real decent results with that either...

That wheel looks super hot!!!!!

I recently bought an SC wheel on fleabay for .99 so I can send that in to be recovered and not have to worry about a core charge.

After seeing this wheel I need to send mine is ASAP!!!!

Sure did! The leather is in crappy condition and has no airbag, but none of that matters. It will be recovered and my airbag will be put into it!
