I had my door handles and steering wheel replaced thank goodness while still under warranty. But I am totally disappointed when I hear of other owners that have the same issue and are left to deal with it on their own. While I am patiently waiting on the next generation G sedan, it definitely gives me doubts as to the integrity of how Nissan has decided to handle such a nasty cosmetic issue.

 

nice job on the steering wheel, infiniti cust care is stingy 3 days after my warranty replaced my transmission acted up by not being able to switch into ds and m mode and sure enough they didn't want to help cover any of the $300 COST. <!>middle fingers<!>

 

Excellent DIY. Any recommendations on the length of the nail, or pressure? Haha. Steering wheel looks good my friend. I'm wondering if anyone attempted to do the same on the door trims since they're also prone to chipping.

 

that actually looks good!

 

IMHO I think that looks ghetto x 1000. But I have to admit it looks better than before. Still pretty ghetto in my book. I guess it's a low-budget way to fix the scratched trim issue.

Keep in mind that's just my opinion. If you like it, that's all that matters!

 

No Worries! You are actually the first who thinks so. People who have seen it in person and many on here like it

As Said its temporary, once spring sets in and I know I wont need to drive somewhere for a full day, I plan to remove the wheel and trim and either paint it or wrap it

 

looks good I would have never thought to do that haha creative!

 

When mine gets really bad, I'm hoping to wrap it in carbon fiber vinyl. It is a shame though that Infiniti decided to get cute with the rubberized coating instead of just a plain old plastic that would have been much more durable.

 

They finally addressed this issue on the 2010+ sedans. They now come with satin black hard plastic trim without the rubber coating.

FS: Brand NEW V36 coupe/sedan Steering Wheel

^ This is the new wheel with the revised trim which you cannot just scratch up.

 

I don't understand how you ended up with two steering wheels? Doesn't the dealer ALWAYS keep the original part that has been replaced for proper reimbursement from the factory? Besides, given that that's a very expensive part; how did you end up getting to keep the old and keep the new as well ???? I don't get it.

 

He bought one off of me which = 2

 

I purchased a used one as stated. Then got that used one customized with CF trim, alcantra sides, perforated leather upper and bottom, with extra padding which is currently on the car. So this new one FS is the one dealer replaced. If it sells, great! If not, I keep it around and sell the custom one later when I part out. I can probably get much more for my custom wheel.

Custom V36 Steering Wheel (CF/alcantra/perf leather)

 

OK, so then how did you end up with an extra one to sell? I still don't get where the extra one originated from, but then I was sort of assuming it started with a warranty job. I guess it could have come from any number of used sources as well. I couldn't imagine anyone forking out over a grand for a new wheel.

 

1. He Buys the Spare one from BlueDevils
2. He Takes the Spare wheel he just purchased and gets it re-done
3.. He gets HIS wheel replaced under warranty.
4. He then removed the new wheel from Infiniti and Replaces with the spare he sent away to get wrapped and all done up.
5. He has a New Wheel left over to sell.

 

Sorry, you missed my point. I addressed that question to BlueDevils.

I totally got how it all happened for J2S2M; what I was asking the second time was where/how did BlueDevils come up with the wheel. The basic question is where did the EXTRA wheel originally come from.
