Your welcome...somebody.

This is not my wheel, I just found it searching....
Either it's an ES300 wheel, or the "wood" is aftermarket. There's supposed to be grips in the wood at 10 and 2.

The SC430 Pebble Beach edition had a optional black wood interior. But this is straight grain instead of a burl wood but not sure if the color is a match or not.

Did some research on this wheel cause I would like to keep it factory looking\match if possible.

Well its $1792.00

Part number listed below for all those with baller budgets.

I concur. And maybe even the inserts on the seats too (same black color but in suede or alcatara)

i agree. the full black armrest would flow well into the console. i'll probably stitch up a black boot this weekend. Getting the dash handled (black ) is going to be the hardest part i have already tried a few things and no go yet.

Yakuza haa i think you were the one that showed me a newer interior that kind of looked like it. If i did seat inserts it would look good but at that point i might as well just buy a full black interior

Nah. The 2tone seems to be the new trend. Looks more modern. As long as its clean colors.

sorry brian! didnt see that you posted it!

that looks amazing!

how much did it cost out the door? i might do the same! did you send in a wood steering wheel? I might have to buy a wood one and send it in as I have a SD e-shift all black steering wheel with the chrome Lexus Emblem right now.

better than the 940 someone on the classifieds they sold their blackwood steering wheel for
