Added TRD steering wheel
 
I added TRD steering which I got in automatic version, I was told the automatic version would work for the mt. I got this version due to steering wheel being discontinued. I like the thickness of the steering wheel, the higher quality leather, retain the function of stock airbag, and OEM quality . For the price I don't think it worth it on an early part of the build but for later part of progression of a build I think it okay.

Nice! I've always wished the stock steering wheel was a bit thicker. Where'd you get it from?

I got it off eBay from a Japanese seller. They raise prices after I bought it.

I have one, bought it from a member here for around 50% off retail. Was a smoking hot deal. The TRD wheel is really, really nice compared to the stock one and would certainly buy again.

This is a great steering wheel! Been enjoying mine for over a year. It is disappointing that they are now discontinued.

Does it have the 'Scion' logo on it, like OP's pictures? Or is it an '86' emblem, like in this link? http://www.86worx.com/trd-steering-wheel.html

Also, how "soft" or thick is the leather? Doesn't feel too mushy I hope. Or is it more rubbery in feel? TIA!

The wheel has a TRD logo. The airbag is Scion branded because I didn't want to spend an additional 800 dollars on an airbag

It has a solid feel but it's comfortable to hold onto

That's one of the few aftermarket wheels that I like. The only thing I'd change would be the silver trim at 6 o'clock to the newer dark grey, to match the rest of the wheel. I think they're pretty cheap, too..

I got mine a week ago and love it! I had to get it from Fensport in the UK since it's no longer available from most other sites.

I keep scanning the classifieds but never find any for sale.

Not surprised. Unless it's a part out, I cant see why anyone would want to part ways with it. I was worried about comfort with it due to the smaller thumb rests, but it's about on par with the stock one. Might be a big less comfy, but it's been about a year since I've even looked at my stock wheel. Maybe I'll pick it up just to double check.
