The OEM Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel for us NON Type-S Owners!
So I just got my car back from Acura today with my new Carbon Fiber steering wheel installed! I have already installed the other Acura aftermarket carbon fiber pieces for the rest of the interior, as well as the Type-S Carbon Fiber Shifter, so this really completes the look for the interior of the car. Comments welcome.

That is one shiny steering wheel... I thought it was 'dangerous' to shine the steering wheel??
Or is that just one of those rumors.
Have you considered putting CF over the silver/aluminum button thing area ma-bob?
Stering wheel looks good nonetheless

Trend, it's nice to see a Carbon Fiber style wheel for a 4 spoke wheel. I just got the same one for my '07 Type S and yours has more carbon fiber than my newer year's model. Mine does not have the Carbon Fiber insert on the lower portion of the wheel, like yours does!

I got the wheel for 380.00 and they charged me 110.00 to install it. I also got my A-spec kit from them for only 720.00, I feel like they have given me good prices for being an Acura dealer.
Yea it is, lol! I keep my car armor all'd reguarly and when I first got it the leather did not match the rest of the interior so I shined it up nice and good to match the remaining interior. I don't normally keep my wheel that way but in this case it looked funny until I did it.

I'm glad you commented Steven! I have been into carbon fiber on my cars for years, heck I even have a carbon fiber wedding ring, but I can say you have been my carbon fiber Acura inspiration for my car so regards. I did see your wheel and I was so impressed I had to go out and get one. Mine does have more Carbon Fiber as you mentioned.
Thank you, young squire! I appreciate the kind words.

Bayam0n- trendzero has already answered your question but I will add that the 04-06 ASPEC steering wheel had blue stitching on it (no wood or carbon fiber) and it was a little thicker.

hey trendzero- what is the part number for the shift knob? and also, when I punch in that part number for the steering wheel, it gives me a steering wheel for an 06, and it is the 3 spoke wheel and not 4?? might be a mistake on the dealers website, but what website did you go to to get yours, I don't want to get the wrong thing. THANX!

No they don't it's just a different type of steering wheel than the 04-06. You can purchase the CF wheel for the type-S, which is mostly where I see that purchase happening on here, hence the title. The this wheel has more CF on it as well. The Type-S has the same CF piece on the top but a tiny piece on the bottom wheel arm.

LOL, yea it def. was at the time. But I needed to grease it up to match the rest of the interior. Out of the box the leather did not match the look of the rest of the car so I lubed it up to get it looking like it "went" with the rest of the interior. Now it looks much better!

That wheel looks greasy like you've been eating popcorn or something.
