Default Still Waiting For Mine

Even without the group buy, the price is only $400. I didn't think that was too bad. And silly me, I forgot to mention ClubLexus or I might have gotten the $360 price that someone else mentioned. My steering wheel is still being worked on. Unfortunately, it's taking a lot longer than I expected (it arrived on the American-Stitches dock in Mesquite, TX three weeks ago on 2/14/05). I haven't been very impressed with their customer service so far. I called a week ago to get an estimated completion date. The person who answered said she was busy and asked if she could call back. She never did, so I called again. That time she just said she couldn't give me an ECD. I later wrote an e-mail. It's never been answered. That is pretty annoying. But hopefully I'll at least get back a really good looking steering wheel. Whenever I finally get it back, I'll post some pictures so you can see their latest workmanship.

From what I understand, they do them all that way now. I just got off the phone with American-Stitches and found that my wheel will be shipped tomorrow. I'll have it by next weekend, so I'll have more information then.

Is a grat price, just finding a spare wheel can be hard. Unless you have other transportation. Let us know how it is when you get it and post some pics up of it!

not really hard, IMO, but expensive...because that adds another $200+ to the price and then you have a spare wheel that you have to sell once you get urs back

I was fortunate to have an extra vehicle. My GS is just sitting in the garage without a steering wheel while it's getting refinished. But even that is expensive since I just lost a month's driving time on the car while having to make a payment on it.

Damn, I haven't even had my car one year yet, and I've already spent way too much. If we get a group buy on the steering wheel, I might be forced to spend more money.
