REAL JDM Type R Steering Wheel

Dynasty_TypeR · 02-05-2008, 07:31 PM

Got this in from japan a couple weeks ago. Being installed on my car this week. This wheel is absolutely amazing and I feel awesome since i'm pretty sure i'm the first person and possibely the only person to have this wheel in Canada. It came right off the project Spoon Type R from Japan

Hope you guys like it, I love it

Very Nice, You can transfer the buttons right?

***Zeuceone*** · 02-05-2008, 07:44 PM

There's a few people with it. Ajr sold a them awhile back. Real nice none-the-less.

Dynasty_TypeR · 02-05-2008, 07:44 PM

yup, but i have no intention to...keeping it JDM

KMS · 02-05-2008, 07:49 PM

i see, that would be a tough decision for me between stock with working buttons and the JDM Type R. Both are Great

Truplatano · 02-05-2008, 07:55 PM

About $650

***blue rocket*** · 02-06-2008, 08:23 AM

AJ sold them for $500 shipped.

Leonard1818 · 02-06-2008, 10:34 AM

wow, I'll never understand you JDM guys...

Tons of money to lose a (IMO) major functionality and add some red to your steering wheel.

to each their own

***blue rocket*** · 02-06-2008, 10:37 AM

these are where it's at....$15.

and i like the perforated wheel better anywho!

Leonard1818 · 02-06-2008, 10:53 AM

but you don't have red stitching!!!

yuning83 · 02-06-2008, 02:08 PM

I'll take the 15 bucks over the real 500+ wheel anyday, but then again I don't feel the same about being JDM as JDM ppl do. If I were them though I'd get the 15 bucks red H from blue rocket, and get a leather steering wrap and go get a red line to replace the black one that comes with the leather steering wrap and you got your JDM steering wheel for less.

But I can understand owning something real is better than owning something that looks real. Like my girl always say owning a real LV is way better than the fake LV, but personally I can't tell the difference between them.

***tehcodeman*** · 02-06-2008, 03:54 PM

hey blue, does your red H just go over the original? or do you have to remove the stock H?

darkrom · 02-06-2008, 04:01 PM

it goes over. installing mine now!

darkrom · 02-06-2008, 04:16 PM

Just finished installing the GFXP JDM thingy. Amazing. At first while looking at it I was thinking "MEH" but it looks wonderful. Let me also say that I have never successfully placed a sticker on anything and had it look good. I also didn't even take my time. I thought it was going to look like doo-doo, so I rushed it. It still came out amazing. I am literally like 1 step short of parkinsons (well no but I shake a disgusting amount!) and I managed to do it myself. Amazing. Anyone on the fence should buy this immediately. Best bang for your buck easily!

KEVtec · 02-06-2008, 04:28 PM

bout this?

Type CF

yuning83 · 02-06-2008, 04:53 PM

Is that the red tape method? lol I bought some red tapes back then, but never actually put them on. My car is ex the red H will stand out since every light is blue in the car.

***blue rocket*** · 02-06-2008, 09:57 PM

how'd u do that carbon....looks hot! don't like the H though :-(

jeremy0203 · 02-06-2008, 10:07 PM
