RX_4_surfin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 So I bought an '01 RX300 with the leather wheel and shift knob. I love the car--except for that Steering Wheel and shift knob. I'd like to replace at least the steering wheel with the one that has wood. The only problem is that I cant find one. The dealership quoted me $19 hundred and fifty-nine bucks, which is about 1500 more than my budget. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement steering wheel? I've tried junkyards and ebay in addition to the dealership. I have the tan interior. I know that there is a parts needed/for sale forum. I searched through there and didn't see one. I cant post in there because I'm not a gold member. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they cutting down an entire rainforest to make that steering wheel/shift knob? That's just absurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX_4_surfin Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah, I thought that was extreme also. That didn't include the airbag, but it did include the cruise control stalk fortunately. I'd really like to replace it still though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 oh well if it had the cruise control stalk, then i guess its not thatttt bad. lol dont know how this works but... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-03-Lexus...1QQcmdZViewItem found this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX_4_surfin Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yeah, I looked through ebay and saw those also. I looked closely, and they look similar to those stick on wood lam kits. I'd like to stick with the real thing if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to stick with the real thing if possible. I didn't like the slipperiness of the wood so I exchanged mine for leather. If you want the wooden one make me an offer. Ivory/tan interior 2001 AWD RX300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX_4_surfin Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Can you send me a pic? Does it include the airbag? How about the cc stalk? How can I contact you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to send one to you also, couldn't get through. I assume beacuse I'm not a gold member. My email should be visible to you in my profile. If not, let me know and I will post it.
