Considered it, but it won't look right. We'll just do the wheel, shift boot, and door panels in Alcantara with red stitching.

I would consider it in a light gray leather to match the interior and door panels if it was feasible and done right to not interfere with the air bag on the passenger side.

Are the fellas at JPM wrapping your wheel? I've been thinking about reaching out to them to thicken and wrap mine, just need to find a spare wheel first.

I think it'll look much better with the new lip / black mirrors / black roof.

Awesome looking car...

I LOVE your HID retrofit. My better half is getting me Clazzio's for Christmas then the HID retrofit will be at the top of my list of mods.

Thanks!

You'll likely be contacting me to order that retrofit kit so let me know if you have any questions!

You more than likely will build it for me... I was hoping this Xmas... but splurged on some JDM parts, so I'll probably get to the retrofit by Spring/Summer. We'll definitely be in contact.

I don't know that you'll want LS460Rs but we can do FX-Rs or something.

Since I thought the "mesh" in the bottom of the steering wheel was ugly, I modified it and painted it gloss black as well. Now it just shows through.
