Well now, I have ascertained(by calling Scion and talking with 2 dealerships) that the "leather trimmed" steering wheel may have no leather on it at all! on my new 2016 and I would like to obtain a new wheel, but I don't want to void my warranty. Any suggestions? I thought about just getting a wheel from a 2016 BRZ limited (just the wheel part, not the accent piece, cruise control or airbag. Or ordering the JDM part and installing it but... someone at Toyota would most definitely notice this... right?

Please give me any suggestions you might have, I am not happy driving around with a Urethane steering wheel on a brand new car... I love every aspect of the car but this is really bugging me. In japan it comes with a leather wheel on all but the G model (which also doesn't even have aluminum pedals...) I just feel like for the price I should have gotten leather.

I don't want to void the warranty in any way as the car is still on it's first 1000 miles. I don't plan to do anything major till I hit at least 25,000 so keep that in mind with your responses.

Thanks in advance!
