So I needed a new steering wheel...I searched around the forum and from the info I read it seemed like the steering wheel was interchangeable with the 01-02 Acura MDX. I purchased the steering wheel from Ebay member "magautoparts" for $90 shipped...took me about 30-40 minutes to install and I couldn't be happier. As you can see from the pics it looks like it's just a shade darker but it don't bother me...the camera flash makes it more noticeable than it really is.

Magauto is good peoples. Theyre local to me. They said awhile ago they sell alot of those wheels to CL/TL owners.

My CL has a wheel similar to this except in marble. Also the dash trim, door panels, center console area are in an aftermarket marble finish.

Is this on a CL-S? Im confused..

civicdrivr

Thats not aftermarket. Black interiors had the marble trim. Im just a bit confused as to why your CLS-6 would have it since IIRC all 03s had the silver trim. Maybe the previous owner swapped it?

It appears as though the OP has an 03 6MT, so yes.

yea at first i wished I had the silver interior but honestly all i get is compliments on the black marble interior finish. and the wheel is just a bonus.

too bad there isn't a brushed aluminum one for the CL6ers

Thanks...yes, the steering wheel is on a 2003 Acura CL with a 6 speed...the wheel is designed for a 01-02 Acura MDX but they are interchangeable with the CL

nice, why didnt i think of that

they dont have black/black in stock now, but he said to check back every once in a while. so guess ill be calling weekly haha

No, I've had a CL, it still has the Silver trim. This is those aftermarket Dash kits that you could probably get in carbon fiber, woodgrain, marble etc...

Sorry for big pics... this looks a bit clearer.

civicdrivr

Oh, I see what you mean. I thought you mean the stock trim.

98JDMCL

Its a 6spd so its a type S? I didnt know type s's came with wood... i thought just marble or polished silver.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

The 6MT was only available on the S. The black interiors had silver or marble, the tan had wood.

98JDMCL

OH!!!


THats right in canada there was no tan!
Someone was sellng a type s with tan on KIJIJI and it said US car , that was the first time i saw tan.

That looks sweet. What is involved in installing one of these??

It wasn't that hard to install...took me about 30-40 minutes and all you need is the following...screwdriver, 14mm socket and a T30 tork bit. There was no need for a steering wheel puller...

Looks great!

pwehmeier

Really. . . i might have to give this a shot. Thanks

pwehmeier

Thanks for the info but I ran into a problem with mine. . .the screws that attach the "steering dynamic damper" (rubber thing on top of middle part of steering wheel after srs is removed) did not fit the mdx steering wheel. Did you have that problem?? if so did you use different screws or just leave it off?

Wicked_CL

Forgot about that...did you get those 2 extra screws that came with the steering wheel? I used those screws the "steering dynamic damper"...they worked fine.

me too. ive yet to see marble finish in any other car i really like it.

pwehmeier

Thanks again. I thought those were just extras for the steering column but they worked on the damper to i guess. I have an automatic and it really goes well with my mdx wood grain shift knob.
