Cough....$650, but in all reality, where would you find one for less ? Any used one in decent shape if it can be found is gonna cost that-and a NOS in the correct color ? How long are you gonna be looking for that and imagine the price ! The workmanship is AWESOME ! I have no complaints, and installed it tonight !!

Was your wood grain inlay missing or pulled away from the wheel? How damaged was your steering wheel? Thanks,
Joe

Yes, it was completely out of the wheel-he replaces the fake wood insert with genuine wood to match the original.

Wish I had taken a before and after picture- The wheel had several major cracks and I just pulled the wood inlay out because it cut my hand ! The car has nearly always been garaged , especially for the last 20 years, So I have no explanation as to why it deteriorated so badly. The rest of the interior is mint ! It sure made a difference in the whole car, and can't recommend Gary's craftsmanship enough !

i think it has something to do with sunlight, and climate

over here they do not do this, over here the body is long gone, but the steering wheel is still fine,  but then my car that was imported from san diego is the other way around, no rust, but the steering wheel is all cracked and hard
