    I've seen similarly redone ones on eBay in the $400-$500 range. I was offered $350 by someone on Offerup for this one, I can let you know if he falls through.

    I'd like to swap a 2nd gen steering wheel in for radio controls, maybe I'll have to add a few extra steps to the already extra swap

    I put an IS300 wheel in my truck so I could use the e-shift buttons on it as radio controls. I've yet to do the wiring part though.

    Use the paddle shifters for volume control or changing tracks? That would be awesome

    Yup, that's pretty much the plan, the e-shift buttons would become volume and change track buttons.

    Oh, it definitely will! I feel like this is THE steering wheel for all 90's to early 00's Toyotas.

    Did you recover the leather? I’m totally down for one if you did.

    By recover, do you mean add new leather over the existing? What I did was to completely replace the existing leather.

    Got it. That's it in a nutshell. I take off the old stuff and then fit a piece of leather to the exact wheel (as opposed to using a pattern) and I find the end result is much better.

    The RSX seats look great, nice color match with the stock interior. You're going to love the seat heaters, I installed the same switch and setup from reallifeonhold, one of my favorite mods.
