Well, your in luck buddy. The wheel should mount onto your RX without any problems.

The only problem I am having is getting the airbag to go with the wheel you already have the proper airbag so go for it, and good luck

All you have to do to swap is take off your airbag then steering wheel. Then put the new wheel on and plug the airbag up. Of course, that's just the gist of it, I can get into more detail when you get ready to do it.

I picked up the wooden shift **** for about $50. I was quick to jump on that deal, it cost me more to have it installed It will cost you about 2hrs of labor to have one installed b/c of the wiring for the overdrive button. It's not as simple as screwing on and off the ones on the GS/LS etc.

I don't know how it would look, though, with the aluminum and wood wheel - but it is a bad a** wheel. Hmm... It'd be cool to have aluminum on the wheel where the wood is

Can you imagine how hot an aluminum wheel would get in the summer? Ouch! You'd need drive with pot holders on your hands...
