Wood steering wheel installed - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello all ...

I wanted to buy an OEM wood steering wheel for my Middle Eastern Spec Aurion since the day I got it but it was difficult for me to find what I was looking for (mainly because the color of the wood we have here in our cars). So I ended up doing a custom wood steering wheel in the most well know place in Kuwait for such custom jobs related to cars ... I am very happy with the results.

Best thing is the price, $120 only installed and it took only one day!

Looks neat

Looks really nice!

How come U.S. spec Camrys don't have that wood color? Instead we had to get the, IMHO, ugly light colored Infiniti I30 esque wood!

I really like the light wood.
It's different and I do get compliments on it.

I guess it's a shade of wood you either like or hate.
No in between.

The wheel looks great.
I have one too.
Really adds to the interior.

nice......I think I like it better than the lighter wood too.

My 2008 V6 XLE, Red with Ash leather has the dark wood. I like it.

Matches perfectly.

It looks great and appears to match perfectly. You can't beat the price either, that's a deal.
