08' Wood Steering Wheel

Has anyone upgraded to the wood steering wheel for the 08' RL's? If so, does it make the wood perfectly. How is the quality of the replacement?

Thanks in advance for all wo chime in.

I have it on my 07 RL. It's identical in quality, etc. to the standard wheel except it has the wood inserts at the top and bottom as well as a perforated leather wrapping. Looks very good and I personally like holding onto the plood rather then leather when driving. Maybe it's a Florida/sweaty palm thing. If I lived in a cold climate the leather wrap might be better. I think the wood style looks better but that's a personal choice.

Does it match perfectly? That's a hard standard to reach. However, I don't notice anything in the color or texture that is a mismatch.

One of many threads addressing the issue. You may want to search to find other comments.

For the record, the steering wheel doesn't quite match the interior wood, but it's close enough as makes no odds.

HTH!
