looks great, I really like that! Is that the RX330 wheel? Do they make it in black?

looks like the RX steering wheel. Im looking to do the same swap. I think they do make it in black but the wood is different. Do the buttons on the left actually work?

Looks good. Can you change the color accent to match the rest of your wood grain? - - would look original if the wood matched. Either way it definitly brings out that fresh interior.

That is not an RX steering wheel. That is an ES steering wheel. RX steering wheels have the sport grip on the 10 & 2.

its an 03 es300 wheel, not sure if they make it in solid black but there is a rare dark gray wood grain option I haven't any in the yard though
