i agree it is a cheap quick alternative to replacing the wheel altogether.

not bad.

i would like to get a new steering wheel but money is always an issue.

how much is a rx300 wheel? or any other wheel with woodgrain,maybe the ls430 or any other?
I just spent 250 on a black RX bag and 130 on an actual SC430 Wheel. Keep in mind Black is probably the most expensive color and the style of wheel I got was also the most expensive.

That looks very believable, I'm set on it now. Why did you purchase the black one? with the tan it would have been even better! All in all it looks very nice. thanx for the pic

Kinda like your doing the woodgrain thing, I've been adding black to my interior so that's why I went with it. I don't care for the tan. I should have turned on the ignition so you could see the Blue/White LED dash. Everyone who rides in my car loves it, I had the climate control matched too.

As far as the wheel cover, if it doesn't work out it won't stop you from replacing the steering wheel anyway and your only out $40 or so. I can spend that in the bar inside of 10 minutes...haha.

That actually doesnt look half bad if your steering wheel is black to begin with.

You can get them on ebay or on this forum, you can have the airbag working, the airbag will need to be a single stage airbag, and you need a adaptor from Lexus to make it work.
