Great I was wondering if this would fit since I have the same gauge cluster and non touch screen radio

I installed the type R wheel and. Is my steering wheel isn’t centered. When I center my steering wheel my car pulls to the right. I went ahead and removed it and try to adjust but the splines/grooves inside the wheel don’t match up with the steering wheel shaft.

Is 78501-TGH-A90ZA still the correct part number for this?

For those who have upgraded to this wheel what kind of aftermarket leather would I need to upgrade the seats and door inserts to in order for it to all match? I have an EX and this appears to be different leather than the EX-L has right? The wheel appears to be a much softer and smoother looking leather than the factory leather I've seen in these cars?

I had a shop color match the red on the steering wheel for new leather they installed on the seats. I havent done any inserts for the doors yet though.

Almost a year ago I had gotten a brand new wheel for cheap from a friend who totaled his Si. When I finally went in to start what I thought was gonna be an easy install I for the life of me couldn’t get the first airbag clips off. :cry: Thread reminded me I need to try again.
