Flat bottom would be excellent. All I can ask is how much?

best interior mod.....awesome.
I vote for the last one for the premium pkg interior, as long as that is a flat bottom too.

Pricing? availability?

i would want a flat bottom all leather steering wheel, with no wood inserts. Since i sometimes drive with my hand on top of the steering wheel, I would much prefer the feel of a leather steering wheel than a wood one.

You guys need to offer a full black/all leather option as well. If my car wasn't a lease I would seriously consider one of these. The steering wheel is one of the things that needs a mod on the IS

They all look real nice. Real expensive too I assume since the build quality looks spot on.

Indeed. Based on previous examples shown on the forum, I'm guessing the price is between $750 and $1K.

Would love to have a wood segmented wheel! One area I wish Lexus served us with.

That may be a possibility, i will look into it. As for the wood grain / CF, EACH STYLE steering wheel has nice carved RIDGES in the back. Feels really nice and gripy, especially when making sharp turns from the top. There is a picture of one of the steering wheels showing the ridges. I can assure you all the styles and wheels have them

Availability soon. Pricing, you guys might be a bit surprised. in a good way that is . Glad to see all positive comments .

I do agree, this is something Lexus should have made the steering wheels with color matched wood from the start. I believe only Japan has them from oem.

Remember the flat bottom is an LF A Style Steering Wheel. (Lexus Super Car)

I hope this vendor will be able to carbon fiber-ize the black plastic surrounding the steering wheel buttons. That would be a nice touch too.
