It'll fit no problem, only question is will the paddle shifters still work...I don't think so because they're a part of the wheel part itself.

When we were shopping for the wife's '14, we saw an F at the dealers with a wood steering wheel. They said the original owner either ordered it that way or had it swapped out when the car arrived (they did not remember which)….. Do not recall if the paddle shifters were still in place or not as we did not test drive that car....
The F models interior is not that great and wife preferred the other design ….. with the Alcantra option.
Hope you get the wood version installed to your satisfaction... (Share pics if you can....).

I was able to figure it out. Same process as in the you tube videos but the difference is that you have these 3 pins that you have to push and the airbag bolts are released and the airbag is loose. Very easy to remove the steering wheel. The hardest part was swapping over the paddle shifters because the screws had loctite used on them. I stripped the screw on a couple and had to use pliers to manually turn them tight.
All works good and it looks great, at least to me. I replaced the steering wheel and the center console and cup holder to match.

While I like the aesthetics of the wood steering wheel, I am totally at a loss as to why Lexus decided to only heat the 3 and 9 positions on the wheel instead of all of it. Here in the winter, I'm not digging that at all. My Cadillac Escalade had a wood wheel very similar to this and the whole thing was heated. I'd replace the wood with a full heated wheel if one were available.

In the 18+ cars the whole rim is heated.
