I want to install this steering wheel into my 2011 IS250. I believe it is from a IS350 with the F Sport package.

Has anyone done this before that can verify that part number 45100-53421-C0 is what I am looking for? Or can someone with the same steering wheel PM me your VIN so I can use it at the dealer to buy one?

This steering wheel was used on 2011-13 IS250 and IS350 F-Sport models. I will verify the part number when I get a chance.

Spot on as always Jeff! That is the correct part number.

It is definitely the correct part number.

I would love to get my hands on a pre-owned one of those. Love the white-ish stiching vs the blue on the earlier models.

The IS F steering wheel still has the blue stitching. Only the ISx50 had the white stitching.

2010 F-Sport ISx50 has the "F" logo like the IS F with white stitching. (Non-USA Vehicles Only)
2011-13 F-Sport ISx50 has the "F-Sport" logo instead of the "F" logo.

^ thanks for the info. Good to know.

Wouldn't mind either steering wheel upgrade

I wasn't aware there was a steering wheel with "F" and "F Sport". Is the wheel pictured above the "F" only or the "F Sport" wheel? I wasn't able to see if it says Sport under the F in the picture. Short of the F or F Sport difference, either wheel will fit my 2011 correct?

The one in the picture is the "F-Sport" logo, only the IS F and 2010 IS250/350 F-Sport has the "F" logo only, and it wasn't sold in the USA in 2010, only in other countries like Canada.

that will be a great addition...i swapped my 2010 to a 2013 steering I love the flat matte look and feel over the 2009-10 model

The steering wheels are the same, your old one was just old.

As your new one gets used and worn it will eventually look like your old one did.

I thought that was the case as well but the whole thing felt different...stiching and all....its the same like with the arm rest...I got a 2012 arm rest and the padding and cushion is different from 09-10

The arm rest changed, the steering wheel leather didn't. My uncle just bought an 09 with 2300 miles on it and the steering wheel is just like my 2011 was when I got it brand new. I want that feel back, I love feeling his steering wheel.

There might be differences between the steering wheels (stitching or whatever), but the leather in all of them started out matte and nice. I looked very carefully at his steering wheel when he bought his car, haha. The stitching seemed the same to me, though it can sometimes vary between steering wheel to steering wheel even on the same year just due to slight differences.
