I want a wrapped steering wheel but won't it mess up with the constant gripping?

Yes, it will. Somewhere on the wheel it will need to have an overlapping seam. Constant gripping of the wheel will cause it to separate over time. You could probably try and spray several coats of clear on top.

im not a fan of swapping woodgrain for carbon fibre at all.

best bet is just refinish the woodgrain, it is easy and can be done for next to nothing cost wise.

How is that? Mine has little cracks in it on the drivers door and is hazy on the dash. It bugs me.

I figured that wud happen. I have a rx300 wheel but the wood is a bit lighter than the dashboard wood. I think I'll wrap the wood on the dash to match the wheel instead. Any opinions?

Here's the interior in my SC





I was kinda skeptical when my brother asked me if I wanted this, but it's a lot nicer than worn down wood grain if you ask me. I think this is a nice alternative if you don't want to get the wood grain refinished.

looks good man, finish the radio & climate control. The climate control face just pops off with a little screwdriver, but there a couple of pcs of double sided tape on it so, if your pulling on it & it feels like its still attached it will come off.
