Default steering wheel woodgrain?????

Hey guys has anyone ever used this product or know of its quality?

I plan to add as much woodgrain to my interior as I can .This might be good enough until i buy a new steering wheel and have it installed .

Im still looking for the woodgrain kit that someone posted here a few days ago for the console--ashtray--door locks and window buttons and a few more areas---it looked really good in my opinion but i cant seem to find it anywhere.

Anyways any feedback on this or where to find the woodgrain kit for the interior would be really appreciated.

I tried to report the "fuel ionizer" but apparently selling a totally fraudulent item isn't against ebay rules. Thats clearly false advertising, I guess caveat emptor and all.

thanks those dont look half bad actually----not much wood grain but not bad.

I actually refinished my wheel to the same color as my interior but it has started to crack and show signs of wear again, its either a new wheel or this for the time being.

the one you linked OP look HORRIBLE installed...google and find some. I recommend getting an rx300 wheel if you want wood grain..those covers are pretty ugly installed as well.

wood grain only looks good if you do it right, if you half *** it, it will look cheap.

Didn't look too bad I guess.

i agree with you that it probably wont look that great----but as it is right now my steering wheel is in horrible shape.

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?

A new steering wheel would be your best bet, but like you said, money is always an issue. The nice steering wheels usually go for $250-$500.

yes you may be right, why spend money on this at all just put it towards a new one.

Default I have this one.

This is one I order and used on my 92. I eventually had to glue it on the steering wheel; the tape that comes on the back of it isn't that great. I think it looks nice considering my steering wheel was in really bad shape.

Here's a pic for you. I've had it for about 2 years now. I just didn't want to put the $$, time and effort into a new steering wheel so this was the cheap alternative. Not great but at least it was a quick improvment
