It’s a fairly straightforward job but it takes a lot of time and patience. I watched the Speed Industry video as reference to remove the steering wheel. After getting the wheel off then I needed to figure out how to remove the plastic piece that holds the electronics and that big plastic piece at the bottom of the wheel.

The FIRST thing that you need to do after removing the steering wheel is to remove both of the shift paddles by removing the torx screws. This will expose two more torx screws from the back of the steering wheel. Remove these two screws then you can carefully pull off the main plastic piece with all the switches. Also make sure to remove the connector for the electronics that’s on the right side. It’s difficult to pull off these pieces because they are held by 4 plastic tabs that go in these depressions in the pics I attached but just be careful and they will come out. Same thing with the lower plastic trim piece, just carefully pry off the whole thing. It’s held by 4 tabs. Once you get those off you’re pretty much home free. There’s two other electronic modules mounted inside the steering wheel housing that you need to remove but those are easy to pull out then you can easily remove all the wiring in one piece and transfer it to the new wheel.

I probably should have taken pics of the whole process but I really wasn’t thinking about making a guide. Hopefully these tips help you guys out.

Oh man I want these exact ones but boy are they overpriced!
They are nice but yeah they are definitely very pricy. But what parts for the Supra aren’t overpriced right now if you know what I mean? ;)

Thanks for the tips. I’ve watched that video as well. I have my Carbontastic wheel and Autotecknic paddle shifters ready to install.

That’s an awesome wheel. I bet it cost a pretty penny.

It was a little pricey but at least I didn’t have to send in my core so I have my original wheel for backup. I just have to get out in the garage and get it swapped out.

I washed it and applied a third layer of The Last Coat Black Ice coating. Phenomenal gloss.

Hi guys. I swapped out my regular steering wheel for the red and black Launch Edition steering wheel and I added AutoTecknic carbon fiber shift paddles.

where did you get the LE Steering wheel if you don't mind me asking.
