Some guys on Club Lexus want Soarer steering wheel covers.

I would imagine some of the members here would want to further badge engineer their cars.....

Also, another enquiry.
Do the woodgrain steering wheels from a GS300, LX, RX etc fit the soarer ?

Guys in the US have fitted different Lexus model steering wheels to their SCs.

I'd swap mine, BUT I don't know if there are any differences between the Japanese and American spec cars in terms of their airbags.

Would an airbag steering wheel from a GS300 be compatible with a "98 Soarer? They're such a hot looking wheel. Like this

Sam, thats my question ! lol

Well i was told that each model Lexus has a different fit due to the telescopic mechanism courtesy of Lexus. In other words i cant see why the spline would be different from a GS to a SC.

That 300 wheel is what im after !!!!

I got this information from a US site:

Steering Wheels: American Stitches offers a wood-leather steering wheel restoration kit for the SC300 and SC400. The wood is a graphic, but matches the factory wood trim nicely. This is a send-in modification so if your SC is your daily driver, you'll need to arrange a loaner steering wheel while yours is away.

You can replace your current steering wheel with any 1992-2001 Lexus steering wheel and any pre-2001 Lexus air bag. The advantage of this mod is that newer Lexus steering wheels come in three-spoke designs and wood-grain inserts. Finding the wheel is easy enough, but matching airbags are harder to come by and much pricier. Note that all 2001+ air bags are dual-stage deployment, which will not work with the SC's single stage system. The exception to the rule is the 2001 RX air bag, which is still a single-stage. Since the wiring harnesses are different on newer air bags, some basic wire splicing is required. Also note that four-spoke wheels between different models of Lexus do vary in size so fitting, for example, an LS400 four-spoke air bag on an ES300 four-spoke wheel will not match up perfectly, or at all. The same goes for three-spoke wheels and air bags. Also note that the gray leather on newer steering wheels looks a lot like the brownish leather on tan interior SCs, but they are not the same color! It's hard to notice by itself, but apparent once installed.

Another steering wheel option is the TRD three-spoke wheel for the Supra. This is a direct bolt on also, however they only come in black leather with black or colored inserts. No tan or gray is offered.
