Thumbs up JDM Carbon & Silver steering wheel for the F sport!!!!!

Hi all ... I went on eBay and found this ....

you will notice the positive and negative signs of two of the pictures because those are same price add on option BUT unfortunately this thing costs delivered to US over $1800

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270852287542...84.m1423.l2649

what do you guys think!! I really want plus the fog light kit all together so installation can be cheaper since installing the fog lights with the OEM switch requires taking off the steering wheel.

Kinda steep for a steering wheel in my opinion. No F-Sport logo either. Thanks for the post though!

Seems to me that you will also need a carbon kit for the dash just to match the steering wheel to that. IMO the price you pay is not worth the return that you'll be getting. Looks good though!

The other question would be, since it doesn't include airbag (obviously) and paddle shifters, can those just be re-used from the current steering wheel?

That price doesn't surprise me. From everything I've read in the past, replacing the steering wheel was always around $1,500-$2,000.

This would also likely negate the heated steering wheel option. Screw that.

Maybe this will be offered if lexus decides to make a GS-F.
Looks good but I would want the aluminum trim to also be carbon fiber

Pricey, but nice. Too bad they can't use the F-Sport on there since it's a registered trademark now. Good find.
