You may want to make sure if the steering wheel is DOT approved. Some places will not install if the if its not DOT approved as the logo is not there.

^ It's a 30 minute install (45 minutes for the first time if you take it slow). Just DIY.

Lol! Some dealership told me they will not install parts which are not DOT (which I think is kind of non-sense). Funny thing is that the same dealership that said that installed HID's for me which are not DOT approved... lol!

It was $399.95 during a Christmas group buy.
Still not bad at $459.95 shipped now.
A very nice quality wheel.

Wood grain FTW! Also, I got the perforated shift **** as it compliments and completes the front.

I purchased it from Lextuners but did the Sewell DIY, took about 30 mins tops. First time changing a steering wheel and it was very easy. I recommend taking a pic of the wiring and the wire routing before you disconnect everything.

I paid 410 shipped from lextuners off of ebay. It was right after xmas. I have the 2011 grey woodgrain, so the all leather matched better. I have th F-sport **** so thats enough carbon for me. I think I might have got an all leather w/ blue stiching but didnt see one listed.

ok it is confirmed, the CF flat bottom blue stitching was $649 + shipping unless you got it in the black friday group buy. So our wheels are actually almost $700
