Default Rare new Steering wheel is done, Check it out!

The new steering wheel is a very Rare "01-"04 GS wheel made by Grazio & Co. in Japan, it has perforated leather w/sports grip, I have never seen a wheel with the leather shaped like this where the spokes attach. Thumbs set in those grooves so nice and comfortable. It also has the nubs on the back side for grip. It has a single stage "01 RX airbag.

Next I sent it off to get the wood done in Black straight grain to match the rest of my interior, as long as I was sending stuff, I sent my leather MOMO shift **** and my carbon fiber gauge mount panel to get don’t in matching wood grain.

I have tried and tried to take pictures of this stuff but none of them do them justice, they are so gorgeous. I also sent some plastic covers from in the engine bay for a “brushed aluminum” look. Anyway, Here are some pics, enjoy. I will try to get better pics later.

Quick question,
did they use wood veneer for that pattern? Looks great.

Looks really good! Matching shift **** and gauge mounts really tie it all together.

Now you'll have to keep a tub of steering wheel wax in the console to keep those fingerprints away.
