2nd Gen IS steering wheel retrofit
Check it out! Fitted my SC'd GS400 with a 2nd Gen IS steering wheel!
The paddle shifters give it a MUCH more sportier feel over the up/down buttons. The wheel is slightly smaller but thicker; better feel in my opinion. Also it's great that the steering wheel controls are setup to work with my aftermarket double DIN nav once I get that installed. <br >
Big props to my friend Pornaddict! He kicked this off on his car first and helped me out; he sourced everything as well for me. Everything works as it should (airbag, paddles, stereo controls etc). <br >

My friend sourced the following for me:
Good cond used IS wheel w/o airbag $180
Refurbished steering wheel cover (center piece) w/airbag $100
Each item could wind up being a bit more expensive. The only swap over is the airbag detonator from the old GS wheel.

The ISF wheel is cool but I think that might look too modern IMO for the 2nd gen GS.

Damn beat me to it..lol Looks nice but I agree with your take on it Roc. looks a bit outta place but still looks good.
Also, you said you're planning to use the radio buttons on the steering wheel. How did you guys get past the clock spring? What interface are you planning to use to link up your radio? I was thinking of ASWC-1 and see if I could make it work. It works great on my wife's RX.

Yes, it's a GS400 with single stage airbag. It doesn't matter that the IS is a two stage because I used the air bag detonator from my GS and put it into the IS wheel in front of its air bag, the bracket/bolt holes line up. It was a plug n play. There had to be some other wiring to do though for the paddle shifters. My friend did all the wiring on the wheel at his house; Nothing was done at my house except for the detonator swap, install and plug in.
