guys.....thanks for all the comments
bought the blackwood wheel from another CL member who did in fact source it through Zeroism in Japan.
Sourced the airbag through Chris Sullivan at
www.fivestarairbags.com
JPI is selling the rattle kit in the vendor classifieds.
On to my next projects, leatherseats.com install, custom X-pipe, and turn signal side mirrors.
Someday I will be going FI
My old wheel is in the classifieds for anyone looking to do the American Stitches wood conversion.

The Blackwood looks nice and subtle with the silver exterior.

You'd loose that bet. LXOGOOD, Rominl and Chaskim to name a few, had posted their Blackwood Steering wheels about 3 years ago.
It's been a while since anyone has posted this mod though. It definitely is my favorite for Black or silver cars with Black or gray interiors.

Just curious......did those guys go with a Grazio wheel, American Stitches or some other custom solution?

Chaskim and myself went through Robin at American Stitches. Rominl and LXOGOOD went through a private source from Asia.
Not sure if Rominl (Henry) still has that resource, but I met with American Stitches at SEMA last year and they were still supporting the Blackwood conversion for our cars.

Very Nice!!! BTW, where did you get the pedal kit set?
