$450 for that steering wheel sounds like a bargain compared to the alternatives. Looks like first class work going by the picture and your own testimony. Thanks for posting. I'm getting one as long as they do core exchange.

Wedge,
Core Exchange is exactly what I did. They charged around $750 for the wheel and upon return of my wheel I got credited by $265(would have been $300 but I wanted it fed ex overnight). FWIW I ordered it on Sunday on the plane on the way to SEMA and it was at my house on Friday. He even took pictures of it prior to shipping and asked if it was what I wanted. Great customer service.
I think it makes a huge difference inside the car and it feels soooo much better than the standard wheel

I like the GT3Rs steering wheels, spendy but super sweet

DCT did mine for $400. For this you get:

A thicker wheel
Choice of leather color
Choice of leather (I chose perforated leather for the side sections)
Choice of stitching (I chose silver)

It's an awesome wheel and well worth the 4 bills

Sounds about right. I did red stitching thumb notches and red stripe so that could have made it a tad more expensive.

Looks fantastic. Do you have silver stitching on your leather interior too? Can't tell from the picture. Getting ready to order one and I'm leaning towards getting the same stitching on the wheel as the rest of the interior. Trying to picture different stitching on the wheel compared to the rest of the interior.

Great looking wheel.

Agreed, I would like the stitching to match the rest of the interior as closely as possible. My black interior has light silver stitching, I presume this can be done by Dallas.
