No thats the standard wheel on the 08 GS350. I had to paid like $400 for the optional wood steering wheel. Wait a minute, thats a 07 or 06 GS because it doesnt have the chrome shift plate. So you are right, its aftermarket. Looks pretty OEM though.

This is a Canadian-spec 2007 GS350AWD (the base model here includes navi but no ML and no wood steering wheel):

It's a very plain steering wheel (no real texture to the leather). Not quite sure if it's been changed for 2008 or not

I know for a fact that's custom because of the white stitching theme that goes throughout the whole car (including the steering wheel) for the Lexus GS 450h Bridgehampton Concept

Nope, not at all. 06-07s are different from what is pictured.

umm, interesting. i never paid attention to 07. so it seems like the 06-07 steering wheel button layout is pretty much the same as 08, except the wheel and airbag design
