I saw one on eBay for ALL '01 and up GS's, with or without shift buttons, your choice. No air bag and only in black leather with burlwood. $485 + Just checked it and the auction ends in less than day. Not mine.

The steering wheel design did change in 2001, but you can get a new airbag and run the new style wheel on an older model.

so i can buy a 01+ wood grain steering wheel and it will fit in my 98 gs300? then i need to find the right air bag to fit the steering wheel and also fits my 98 gs300 - what airbag fits?

i hear things about single stage and dual stage, what is that?

i found a thread where someone installed a 01+ wood grain steering wheel in a 1st gen gs300. here's the link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...steering+wheel

the guy refers to something called a clock spring that is needed for his car. does anyone know anything about this?
