need recommendations on who to use to get steering wheel recovered
My steering wheel is sun damaged and worn, and I need to get it recovered. I thought about going with a newer wheel, but have an excellent air bag, so might as well get mine redone. Of course Im wanting leather quality and a good price. Business names and numbers please.

Lots of steering wheels in the classifieds you can take a crack at. Only reason to get one re-wrapped is if you want a non-factory color, or a two-tone look to the steering wheel. Although I think leatherseats.com offers a relatively cheap re-skin, but you still have to either sow it on yourself or pay someone to upholster it to your existing wheel.

I'm in the same boat, whether to replace or re- skin or upgrade. Every day I keep looking at CraftCustoms website before & After pics "darn they're the best," . . besides looking at classifieds for clean steering wheels wondering which route I want to go: cheap route with used steering wheel or having a old car with a brand new major slick steering wheel. . . lol . .

RX or ES wood grain steering wheels look amazing in our cars (IMO), the RX steering wheel I put into my old SC was my favourite interior mod 
They can be had for around $200, just make sure you get the correct years (the steering wheel threads will have all the info you need).

I had mine recovered years ago. I did explore different newer Lexus OEM wheels that would work but found myself coming back to the original wheel and I guess I prefer the look of it. Hence my decision to have it redone.
I sent it to Craft Customs: http://www.craftcustoms.com/
They did an excellent job. I had them match the wood in the car to create an wood/leather wheel. I sent a piece of wood trim from my door panel so that could get a match. They did their best to match the leather color/shade but it is a little off and this shows more depending on the angle in which you view it. Going this route surely updated the car and IMO enhanced the luxury feel of the cabin space. If I had to do it again I would have them add a little extra padding where the leather is located.
I've put nearly 85,000 miles on the car since I installed this wheel and I've noticed the leather beginning to wear thin in one spot where I generally hold the wheel. Nothing major but normal wear and tear and typically expected for the kind of use it has seen. I may send them the wheel again in the near future for new leather and also have the auto shift and e-brake recovered.
And yes I need a new center console cup holder...the lid finally broke.
