Has anyone ever tried this, and if so does it just pop on? (it looks like it does just click on): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...ht_2482wt_1182
<< I probably won't buy it from ebay though, the shipping is expensive. ( it probably isn't but they just don't want to pay the "ebay" tax.

I want to get the wooden steering wheel from 01 and up. But this solution looks cheaper. I don't care for the shape of the 01 and up, I basically only want the wood so I don't mind getting this cap. Plus, I think the 01 and up had different air bags or something along those lines preventing a direct swap of steering wheels.

$48 for shipping? Hahaha, that's insane, especially when the shipping cost is more expensive than the actual item.

You can swap to the 01, but as you stated you will also need to replace the airbag. Also, the airbag will need to be a single stag type, which is much harder to find.

Yeah, that's why I'm hesitant to do that. Plus, it's probably more expensive than this cover/cap thing. I mostly want the wheel for looks, plus the leather is starting to get worn on my wheel at the top.

Hyper I would not, but that is just me.

The wheel will become fatter .. the leather wrapped is fat and with a cover it will be fatter yet. The wood ones are thinner.

The snap on will have 2 seams and I prefer smooth no seam feel ... the leather one as a stitching seam (only one).

Good point!
If I can find a steering wheel cap cover for $50 with shipping included, I'll give it a shot and see if I can get used to it. Otherwise, I'll get a 01'+ Steering Wheel .

I don't plan on getting this for at least another year, as the steering wheel is still in good condition but I just wanted to know my options when it starts to wear.

google grant stering wheel, then look at air bag solutions. They have a nice selection of covers for wheels w/airbag
