Lucky bastard. I've been looking for one for the past year and a half. Found 2 but at the junk yard but one had the leather torn and the other had another car sitting on top of it.

Good find. Looks great.

Next, you might want to find an I30 Limited or Q45 shift ****.

And maybe some nice pedals...with a dead pedal.

It looks like this...



Goes good with the I30's chrome door handles. A set of Chrome Gauge rings also adds some class to it.

Junkyards may be your best bet. Thats where I found mine, though they arent in the best shape...got a couple cracks.

Theres other not so ethical ways of getting them too. LOL.

excellent. +1 on jarrod's list. ppl need to be dressing these up to a luxury level instead of dressing them down to a maxima.

I'm also curious how much one of these steering wheels goes for. Also, are any special tools required for the install?
