It looks like the exact same wheel but the material used to wrap it is different. It's a lot harder material, more plasticy than pleathery.

The newer wheels aren't shiny when new like the old wheels. Still looks like something on her hands and/or sun getting to it...

Take it an get it replaced. Don't take no for an answer. Toyota produced a piece of garbage for a wheel, they are responsible. I was denied coverage for this initially, went up the ladder till the wheel was replaced.

Dealer, Central Florida Scion sells a lot of FRS's and they said this was the first one they had seen with the steering wheel peeling. Ordered a new wheel and will install next week!
