There is a company called American Stitches that will re-do your wheel and last I checked it was somewhere around $400 - $450. Conduct a search and you will find pictures of people who have had it done. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but plan on sending my wheel to them sometime this year.

I had American Stitching re-leather my Supra's center cosole lid, make a new shift boot and they did my steering wheel in all new leather. This was only in December, and at that time they were willing to redo my GS430's steering wheel because the wood on it looks "faded" as if the top plastic coating has seperated. I didnt have them do it then, but I have planned on it still.

Anyone know if any other Lexus model steering wheels are a direct swap with the 2nd gen gs? Is the airbag also a direct swap?
If so please state both model and year that will work.
Thanks!

....your better off just getting it re-wrapped in leather if yours is messed up. I too looked into this route. If you...
1. Buy a 01-05 GS300 wooden steering wheel it will probably cost you at least $600+ then you will need to buy an '02 -'04 RX300 airbag (I think that is the correct year) and that will be another $400. Then labor to install everything if you don't want to do it yourself. You are looking at a total of probably around $1200 or so just to have a damn wood steering wheel.
2. Get Craft Customs to do it for $500...(you send in your steering wheel and then they send it back with the woodgrain) then I would say that's a pretty good deal.
3. Buy a wood wheel from Zeroism (on E-bay); last time I checked was $799 without shipping and without the necessary airbag!
My leather steering wheel is starting to crack bad so I need to either re-wrap it to look OEM or check out Craft Customs.
