ha ha... Kentucky Katsu Don... original and crispy.

Anyhow, back to topic, so where did you buy this steering wheel (JDM Toyota) and how much?

Really like the shifter too.... but the pedals I'm okay with not having. I usually don't like changing things that I'm just stepping on with my dirty feet...

inquiring minds really want to know... don't post up pics of something freakin' awesome and think that you wont share where you got it from at least...

may be it is just my experience from people online,
check my 4 sale thread out:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...chue-book.html

now with those kind of replies do you really think i really want to share where i got it from? yes i could get another one, but i am tired of people pm me and when i tell them how much they think i am ripping them off, don't even pm back with a thank you.

at the very least i am posting picture of what i am doing to my car. not those teaser thread with big box or those that speak so loud about their build up after they just purchase the car without pics.

The steering wheel felt awesome with the thumb grips. I want one too but cant afford to be a JDM ***** like REV-01. Only the folks in hawaii that know him personally know what a JDM freak he really is. I want to be balla too

Looks good bro! Oh and thanks for the help last night. I'll be hitting you up in one month when I get back from my trip!

yeah i got 2 of those books too. i have the ls460 and the ls600hL, very nice books indeed. i saw some selling for over $50, but i think i will just keep mine for collectors items and all.

yeah i really hate those teaser threads and especially the ones with no pics... pretty annoying right?? i am sure you paid a gwap for that steering wheel since all the ones i have seen in vip mags are like $500+, but that definitely beats trying to buy an oem wood grain one, something like $1000 +.

did all yoru center cap + airbag + buttons and everything move over easily, cuz i was always hesitant to buy one for fear that all that stuff wouldn't transfer over so easily and i might have to buy that stuff too.??

They don't have one for the foot brake?

I like the grain match and the look of the new wheel. That was one of the first things I noticed on my UL was the difference in wood grain of the steering wheel to the rest of the wood in the car. Great swap man. I am definitely envious.
