Here are some photos of the 2nd-gen CL-S/TL-S steering wheel in my CL. I originally bought the MDX steering wheel but the color variation was too noticeable. This one matches perfectly, and is also a little thicker than the stock wheel and the MDX wheel. But it costs about $100 more than the MDX one.




Perfect match.

maybe i'm confused, but isn't that the MDX wheel?

South Jersey CL

i thought it was the MDX wheel too when I first saw it. I like it.

i'm pretty sure it is cuz my CL-S wheel doesn't have wood on it lol, unless there's some different version
looks really good though!

UWMU

The MDX leather is a lot darker and the wood is also a different tone. This is also slightly thicker than the MDX wheel.

This one is part no. 08U97-S0K-270G and the box says it is for CL and TL sport models. I don't know if it came stock on any models or as an option but it is an Acura part.

looks like an mdx wheel to me, nice work bro

v-takyo!!

i think im gonnna do the same thing but i advise u still buy a cover for it yo cause you want that staying and looking fresh lol and thanks for putting the part number made it a lot easier

UWMU

What kind of cover are you talking about?

UWMU

You have the black MDX wheel right? The tan ones just don't match, that's why I was asking you about painting my airbag awhile back. I thought you mentioned you had to paint yours too.

v-takyo!!

any kind just one to keep the wheel in good condition lol

^ why buy a new wheel just to cover it up?
and there is woodgrain where ppl get most of the wear on a wheel, so he wouldn't have to worry about it anyways

when I look up that part number it says its Taupe in color, yours looks grey

UWMU

That's right, it should say taupe. My interior is taupe/tan/beige, whatever you want to call it. I don't think there was a gray interior option for the 98-99 CL's...

It's a perfect match though. Don't get the MDX for $100 less because it doesn't match at all, and if you're at all a perfectionist it will bother you.

UWMU

Yeah I can't stand steering wheel covers. They're ugly not to mention way to thick to be comfortable to hold onto. I don't drive that much anyway, I've only drive about 10,000 milesa year, so it's not going to see much wear.

v-takyo!!

alright i was just trying to look out lol

I've been looking like crazy recently for the same kind of wheel in grey. No luck

UWMU

what year do you have?

Blazin Si

The steering wheel swap looks great. The CL should have gotten that wheel in the first place.

The 98-99's had Classy Gray. It's quite a bit darker than the 97's Quartz Gray. I think it's also the same color interior that was available on the 99-00 Civic Si.

UWMU

Thanks. I thought classy gray was black or charcoal. Here's one of the black second-gen CL steering wheels on eBay: www..com/38dmcjj

I'm not sure if that would match the classy gray, though.

The part numbers for these are: 08U97-S0K-210 for perforated and 08U97-S0K-210 for unperforated.

97

UWMU

Yeah, that presents the whole airbag problem not to mention that none of the newer color match that year's grey.

shnee

yep

There was a grey interior color since that is what my car has. In the brochure for the '99 CL it's called Charcoal Grey.

Thats the same problem I have. I have a 97 as well and the quartz grey is a problem even though I have thought about trying a black one like this and using dye to paint the air bag black but don't know how well that would look. I love this wheel though allot more than the stock on thats in my car now

UWMU

I think if you could do the paint job right, it wouldn't look that out of place. VW and Audi use black steering wheels with lighter interiors, and it looks nice. But with the cost of the airbag conversion, I doubt it's worth it.

i like it a lot. it matches perfectly. gauges are dope too.

Looks sweet will this for a 2003 CL-S? I got a manual one
