My first instinct was to say it was Japanese or something because of the fog lights and no badge, but the headlights are US spec. hm..

These all appear to be variations on DCT's custom steering wheels. DCT is a company based in San Jose, California.
They appear concave because the airbag is a printed image.
They are available in black or red carbon fiber on ebay for 599, or custom ordered through DTM's sales for $699.


I'm very tempted to buy this wheel as well - looks very nice and has an upscale but subtle carbon fiber look.

The image of the airbag is printed on paper and pasted on the steering wheel. That's why the wheel appears more concave than it really is. If you look closely, the airbag looks flat and distorted since it's a 2d image.

Those headlights we have here in Australia too on the GT entry level 86 and probably is also on the lower level 86s in Japan
