This is by far one of the coolest mods. Major props to you for doing it. You get to keep your air bag! If I were still in the game and not parting my car this would be next!

I was thinking the same thing too. I mean, it's bad when I drove a few cars that had wood on the steering wheel and those were luxury cars. I guess it's time to invest in some driving gloves since you already spent that much for the wheel

ITS WORTH IT TO ME.
Nope, sorry, not one of a kind. But I love it. This is not my ride. I want to do the samething, but I have willow, so what color to get? don't want wood.

Yep, that's mine. I did this over a year ago.

I agree, the pictures never seem to look as good as in person.
Mine is blackwood, It's not slipery, but colder than leather in winter, I wear driving gloves.

The best part is the feel, mine is quite thicker & beefy, like the 07 steering wheel, The 03-06 steering wheel is a bit skinny for my taste.

My costed "only" $500, that's a bargain, I think.
but the hardest part is you won't know what you get until it's done.

Here is a better shot:

BELIEVE IT OR NOT 900 IS CHEAP FOR A SYHTHETIC STYLE CARBON FIBER WHEEL. THERE IS A GUY WILLIAM RAU, http://www.rau-autowood.com/

HIS WHEELS START OUT AT ABOUT 1500 TO 7000, SO IN MY OPINION, I DID ALRIGHT. WOOD WHEELS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE GUY IN MEXICO WHO WORKS ON IT. I WAS AT THE SEMA SHOW, AND THERE WERE SOME GUYS THERE WHO DO WOOD WHEELS, AND MOST OF THE WHEELS ARE NOT GREAT ONLY A FEWA COME OUT GREAT, ITS NOT A EASY THING TO MAKE.
