jmcc42uk Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi guys, I apologise if this is a silly question or been covered but searched and nothing came up. I've got a Supra coming from Japan and this steering wheel is on it, have been advised that it is quite rare/sought after. Seen the black carbon fibre but this one has a sort of Kevlar/brown look about it. Any ideas on value? Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 As far as I am aware, I don't believe they ever made those dashboards standard. They are definitely rare though. Only seen a couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 hi jon, am sure from what i know there is only maybe handfull of members that have the carbon steering wheel.. most were only optional on facelift cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 ive got one of those carbon wheels due in this week! airbag has gone but wheel will be avail...they are very rare... Had a guy in HK that restored a blown TRD steering wheel for me, he did an amazing job you couldn't tell the difference after he'd finished, went on my car in place of the non-airbag wheel.

Nic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The CF airbag wheels are rare, Toyota still sell them last time I checked but they are around £1K+ new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcc42uk Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks for the input guys, I think I might keep it now if it looks okay in person, I've only got these pics to go on Oh, and the walnut trim is coming off, it's bloody awful imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilps Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yeah the carbon steering wheels are quite rare, had one on my old supe an have only seen a few about Damnit Jack, you beat me to it! I have this car now, including said steering wheel If they're worth that much, I'll be sure to look after it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) As far as I am aware, I don't believe they ever made those dashboards standard. Toyota sold the dash trims as an optional extra. The rest of the optional parts available. Edited March 7, 2011 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilps Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) You could get a roof rack as an optional extra?! Also, does this mean my horrendous mirror tints might be original, or is this picture for something else?? And I've got the auto-lights thing on mine, but I never use it. It's just cluttering my dash at the moment. I've got a new dash to fit, so this'll probably come off at the same time. How much would this go for if I took it off and sold it?

Guest 7w34k Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Also, does this mean my horrendous mirror tints might be original, or is this picture for something else?? I can't see photobucket pictures here at work, so I am way off I analogize, but I assume you are referring to the mirrored rear quarters: 8.サンシールドストライプ（ハーフミラータイプ） = Sun shield stripe (Half mirror type) is similar to: 5.サンシールドストライプ（ロゴタイプ） = Sun shield stripe (Logo type) So I think it is only referring to the Supra logo on the rear window. However, that doesn't mean that the mirror tint is not stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Wow... That document explains loads of parts that I never knew were standard optionals for the car! I didn't honestly think there were that many optionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
