I'm not feeling the lower section in red. I think it would look better all black but I like the ideas

Lower section in red because my car has red leather interior ;P

The guys that did it specialize in Miata, RX-8 and S2000, since I was using a Protege5/Miata wheel I decided to do it!

Cost varies with options and no core wheel is required.

it all depends on the options, mine was about 550

they offer different thicknesses
Round, D, or "Zero" (mine) shapes
smooth or perforated leather or alcantara
A variety of colors and stich patterns

I'll probably install it with it but right now the cruise module is occupied by the IGN-1A coils...

Love it! That is so cool that they offer to make it a flat bottom/d-shape wheel, add thumb rests etc...

Very cool!

How well does the napa red leather match the FD red interior? (Assuming you have the stock FD red interior)

The red leather on the steering is lighter than my original seats but looks nice. I'm planning on redoing the seats soon anyway.
