Nice work, i'd love to do mine but don't think I have the patience for it. Stitching and emblem look sporty.

Mines meant to fit the bare base steering wheel. It comes with blue stitching. Got it off a forum member for a great deal.

Found this, but I don't know if it's blue stitching or not.

Read this if you don't know how or never ordered from rakuten before ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...al-market.html


You could just buy it from japanparts straight up (no ff to tenso, they ship direct), but their price is a bit more.

Three and change... gotta check to be more accurate. Low 300's iirc.
I bought that and a bunch of other JDM stuff so the shipping came out cheap... considering.




Ballers are the one's rocking the J's Racing Carbon Fiber version

Well that link is basically the same thing I got, but probably just a different colour stitch. It's honda oem, so much better quality than anything from ebay as well.

3 bills is way too rich for me. I'll keep at working in the $15 Honda red stitching.

Still not sure what I want to do with the silver trim. CF is most likely will make its way on there, maybe black chrome.

I love my steering wheel, the new ones only come with yellow stitch though.
