Maybe someone could ask dealer and post all the part numbers for the Black steering wheel trim?

Part number of the RH Beige trim is: 48463-JK06B, 8$ cost!
I tried to search online for this part number and only russian, or ukranian websites seems to pick it up. i couldnt find this part number in any american/canadian websites.

I'd like to know the part number for the wheel trim as well. My 2008 came with the chipped trim. My drivers side door pull is also starting to flake and it looks like the dealer tried to paint over others.

I have the same steering peeling problem with my 2008 g37. I asked my dealer and they did not cover it under the warranty!! And they said that i have to replace who steering wheel for the fix!. for the door handles, they are like 30-40$ simple installation.

Interesting

If you go to this translated version of a Russian Auto Parts suplier, it states "LIDSTEERING" Meaning I guess Steering lid/trim?

http://translate.google.com/translat...26prmd%3Dimvns

They also have a bunch of other LIDSTEERING entries probably for different colors. Who wants to be the first to order from a russian website?

Do you have a write up or link for the door pull install? I would also want to get the entire console replaced on the drivers side. For some odd reason the rear window switches have the "A"s rubbed completely off.

I do not have any write up or anything, but if you are talking about the aluminum brush thing, it just pops out with a flat screw driver.

That's total BS. The only way you would need a new alignment is if they screw up on reinstalling the new one. They are trying to leave themselves some room for sloppy work. All they have to do is clock it about the splines just right and it should go back on in the exact position of the old one. The one caveat would be if there are manufacturing differences between the new wheel and the old one, such as: its internal grooved collar is clocked to a different position, which consequently would rotate the wheel about the splined steering shaft differently. I doubt that is the case though; they're most likely made by robots to very close tolerances to avoid that very issue.

And yes, when I had my steering wheel changed, they never did an alignment and the wheel centered perfectly.

For the door pulls you can take it off thedoor and sand it down and either paint it or rap it in CF

Well, I just pulled a trigger and ordered the part 48463-JK06A , assuming it's the trim for a black steering wheel (well, it's just 7$, so I won't cry if it's not).

I'll get it in 12-16 days (ordered from Middle East) and post then!
