You don't need a flat bottom wheel on an IS. The car has easy entry/exit... unless you're 300 lbs. Otherwise, it's purely cosmetic. Just sayin'

For sure, it's mostly a cosmetic mod. When I had it, I like how the perforated leather matched my perforated leather seats and how the blue stitching matched my F-Sport shift ****. It all flowed very well.

From a "functional" standpoint, it feels good in your hands and gives you a tiny bit of extra leg room when getting into the car.

Glad I came across this thread... I wanted to upgrade the steering wheel to something a little different and just bought mine from Lextuner for $399 even.

I almost pulled the trigger on an ebay auction for the carbon top flat bottom for $600+

They got out of the modding business. They were Magnussen Lexus in Fremont CA. Not sure if they still have anything left. They even used to sell on eBay. When I typed up flat bottom steering wheel for a Lexus IS350 another dealer has tem in San Jose CA.

That steering wheel is pretty awesome. Going to have to throw it on the "nice to have" list.
