#374196FS: 3-Spoke Woodgrain Steering Wheel & Custom DiNoc Vinyl
Decided to go another route on my interior so I'm selling a steering wheel from a 2002+ SC430. The color is called birdseye maple. I do not have an air bag as I'm using it on my new wheel. Depending on your Lexus model, you may need to find a single stage bag. You can also use a dual stage air bag and swap in a single stage detonator from many other Toyota models. If you need help with this, let me know. It's actually quite simple. I never used this steering wheel and it's almost perfect. The leather is very glossy and the wood has no visible scratches. I give this a 9 out of 10.Price: $150.00 + shipping
Next item is pretty unique. I really wanted the wood color to match my steering wheel above. So I did some heavy searching and found a roll of 3M DiNoc vinyl that had a similar color. The finish was matte so I took this to an old sign buddy of mine who laminated it with 3M vehicle wrap opticlear laminate. The finish is now glossy and since the actual roll of vinyl is dinoc and has vehicle wrap laminate, this will stretch around complex curves with heat. I will admit that the color is not a perfect match, but it's pretty close. I paid over $100 for a small 24"h x 48" roll of this vinyl. Yes $100!!! Then I tacked on a few bucks for the gloss laminate and labor. Custom DiNoc colors are not cheap like the carbon fiber stuff.
Price: $75.00 + shipping
Here is a swatch of the color:
My idea was to make the interior look like a newer SC430...
I might be interested in trades for SC300 parts or something (LS Calipers/LS Rotors, 97+ front bumper/Fogs, 97+ Rear *or Erebuni rear lip = wishful thinking, black interior pieces, local mechanical services).
