Steering Wheel re-stitch or 11' TSX Wheel?

I got a loaner car yesterday, a 11' TSX and omg is the steering wheel and shift gear so sporty, the steering wheel buttons are cheap feeling, but the wheel itself is nice, small, and the feel of the matte leather is incredible, has anyone re-stitched their wheel or consider swapping steering wheels? Tsx wheel?

i dunno if the wheels of the two are interchangeable, but you can definitely re-stitch or re-wrap the wheel. i did on my 07 type-s wheel. red stitching and a perforated leather alcantara suede combo is what i opted for. Dallas custom Steering Wheel did it. i also had some extra padding added to thicken the look and grip of it. i love it.

Looks like there's too much going on with that steering wheel IMO with the CF/Alacantra and the leather. I think it would have been better with the thicken leather and left the alacantra off. Alacantra wears out really fast. How much did they charge? They're actually local to me but I've never heard of them
