Looks good man. Is the IS300 steering wheel smaller than the stock wheel?

Nice upgrade.

I remember how much I liked the wheel last time I drove an IS300 compared with the big stock SC wheel.

thanks y'all. The new steering wheel/airbag is much lighter and smaller in comparison. Cruise control and horn is fully functional and needs slight modifying to fit correctly. The stock 4spoke wheel and **** looks outdated and worn like no other.

What car is the shift **** originally from? Not really feeling it. Either just order a new OEM one from Lexus or get the TRD ****.

And I do like the concept of the IS30 wheel. I love the one in my IS300 vs. the SC's, but the black just looks out of place in the tan interior.

Try ebay but make sure that it will fit on your model before you pay

IS300 steering wheel $70, 98-00 rav4 airbag $60, black tc scion/ yaris **** $10.

I need to snap another pic because the sun is making that **** looks gray lol but the black acutually complements the interior pretty nice..for 10bucks, cant really complain. both my stock wheel and **** was ripping and look purdy old.

as for fitment: any single stage 3 spoke celica 98-01, corolla sport 01-02 or 98-00 rav4, 01-03 rav4 (newer design), and of course 01-03 is300 airbag will work with the is300, celica gts, or corolla sport 3 spoke steering wheel. I believe the matrix and mr2 airbags and wheels will work also as long as its a single stage.

I couldnt find a good deal on any is300 airbags ($250 n up) so I just ended up using a 98-00 rav4 airbag and custom fabricated the "L" lexus chome emblem in the middle. The ring fitted perfectly over the toyota emblem so it was cake. I have two more of those "L" rings laying around so if any of you guys need them..let me know.
