Default Wood Wheel Installed

Just installed the new wood wheel and airbag I got in my 2000 GS300. Very easy to install and it looks a billion times better than the old wheel. Let me know what yall think! Pics

Old wheel

You should put your old steering wheel up for sale in the 1st Generation SC classifieds. It'll sell in a heart beat.

I actually got a guy at work interested in it for his 96 sc. If he doesn't take it at work tomorrow then it will be up for sale here tomorrow.

Got them here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lexus...ht_2648wt_1165

It comes with a little pedal for the parking brake but the parking brake pedal must be made out of the hardest steel in the world cause i could not get anything to drill through it for the screws so I left it off.

Default New wheel!

Looks good! I upgraded mine the same way, but changed the color on the wood on it and inside my entire car and I love it! It feels so nice to grab that wood when driving! Nice upgrade!
