No Blackwood but now thinking about going with the route Wringo went.

Ok, OK, the wheel is made for a 98-00 GS. It is not the like the much nicer 01-05 with the updated air bag cover, but I love the fact is very rare. I went this route because a grey wood wheel with e-shift is extremely hard to find.

I thought it would definitely be blackwood. This is still real nice though. How much did it set you back?

JZS INTERNATIONAL, JAPAN sourced the wheel in two colors, Black with blackwood, and grey with brown wood. My interior is grey so it was a no brainier. Grey wood with e-shift is hard to come by.

pm and I will tell you the price..

Pic with the older air bag cover rather than the new 01-05 cover. Again, the new bag cover looks much nicer with the chrome lexus emblem but I'll think of something.

This thread is saying the 01 cover will mount onto the 98-00 bomb.... is this true?

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...e-airbags.html

Anyone have a link of where I can find a grey 01-05 cover or bomb with the cover. I really don't need the 01 bomb but they probably come as a set.

In the last pic the bag is wet ( I wiped it down). The color (when dry) is pretty close but I'm not a fan of the 98-00 bags.

Now I just need to source a grey 01-05 grey air bag.......again anyone know where I can find one....

Lee, I believe the shape of the 01+ bag is a little different so it may not be a viable option for you.

Hopefully someone else who knows for sure can chime in.

So this wasn't available for a tan interior? I was curious enough to send you a message on pricing but if that's the case I guess I don't have to wonder.

Thanks Kyle for the info but what about this thread I posted prior? your right it is a different shape, I definitely need more info. On a side note, I totally love this wheel, it feels amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If worst comes to worst I will try to find a chrome lexus logo to fit.
