Wood/Leather Steering Wheel

Does anyone know if the wood/leather steering wheel of the Lexus RX300/RX330 will fit on a Toyota Highlander?? Do you know where I can get a wood/leather steering wheel for a Toyota HL??

I don't think so, check ebay, they have pictures of the steering wheel and it is different. I believe the Lexus LX470 steering wheel resembles more of the HL stock steering wheel. I replaced mine from an online site wherein they have the OE HL steering wheel modified with synthetic wood + leather.

I have a 2006 HL. I purchased it from stwheel. I installed it myself. I am pleased with it for it matched by factory and synthetic wood dash. No problems with the Audio & Cruise controls & airbag. I'll send you a picture... How are your Aero kits? I recalled your going to get them...

The Aero kits are good. It does give the HL a very different look that I personally like. I have gotten some compliments and a LOT of questions why I would go thru the expense!!

I like the Elegant look of memaster's HL much better because it is all one piece, but they aren't made for any model year over 2003

The Aero kit attaches to the OEM front and rear bumper. Make sure you know someone that is VERY fluent in Japanese!! The installation instructions only come in Japanese and I followed the instructions of someone that "knew" Japanese - they weren't quite exact. Luckily, I checked and rechecked and rechecked before I did anything to the OEM parts. Also be VERY careful with the kit's double-sided tape. Mine got a little dirty during installation in my garage and lost it's sticking strength. I have to replace those sections.
