Wood steering wheel

Has anyone purchased a wood wheel...if so how much was it and how much to install? I'm thinking of getting one but I don't wanna open up a can of worms getting it installed. Seems like if you ever take a car to a dealer for one problem you end up going back 5 times to get it fixed the correct way.

I bought an OEM wood steering wheel from a guy on here named Steve. I think his screenname is BenzNL. Others know him so they can correct me if I'm wrong.

I purchased for a little over $400 and the dealership charged me $50 to install (the dealership said they wouldn't charge me anything to make up for a past mistake on their part, but that's another story for another day).

I recommend the wood wheel and I recommend contacting Steve to get one.

I bought mine at the dealership when I got my car. The price was just over $700. It does make the interior much nice tho.

Mine was $600 installed at the dealer. I bargained for it at purchase time. Looks great, just have to be careful not to scratch it.
