New Silver Metallic Steering Wheel

New Silver Metallic Steering Wheel
I had this installed last weekend.
Short review:
I think the stock wheel feels nicer at the moment. I am sure I just need to get used to not feeling leather all around the wheel. This wheel does not have the reinforcements at 10 and 2 o'clock. Its the same diameter and the same thickness as the stock wheel. It does feel a bit thinner due to the metallic look inserts.
The new steering wheel definitely adds some style to the already stylish cabin. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it

It's not working for me, but it's your car and if you like it that's all that matters. I also think I wouldn't like the different feel at different spots on the wheel. If you don't mind, how much was it?

The steering wheel retails for $499 + installation. I received the wheel and install for free as part of my new car purchase at the dealership I bought my TSX at. I still have the stock wheel as well.

OH yeah I forgot to mention, the metallic insert is only on the front of the steering wheel. The rest of the wheel is covered in perforated leather. There is no smooth leather on the wheel, I like the perforated look as it matched the seats, doors inserts and shift knob.

Yah, I wish the wheel was a bit thicker but there is not a single Acura around that has a thick steering wheel.
It is not actually metal, its the exact same material as the metallic trim along the dash. It does not get too warm or too cold.
