Thanks! Yeah they looked pretty detailed, but I honestly didn’t read them too close as I just did the same thing from the last cover I did. Overall it was a nice quality kit.
Hey Nextallica! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and interested in the modification. For reference, I’ve had the cover on the wheel for a few months now and it’s still in great condition and haven’t noticed any quality issues with the materials. Definitely still recommend!
@@Awesomoto even better! haha thank you for that additional information i definitely meant to ask about how it’s been holding up but forgot. hopefully i get mine delivered and installed soon!
Thanks for the info. You did an excellent job. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I am doing the same wrap on my steering wheel so you answered all of my questions. Good Luck to you.
Thank you for watching and reaching out Lewis!! I'm glad I was able to add enough detail in the video to answer your questions. I'm always struggling with how long to make the videos and they tend to be on the longer side because I like to rant about the details...glad you appreciate it!
Subscribed. Awesomeness on the steering wheel cover. I’m going to attempt this on mine. Thanks for the attention to detail on your supply choices and techniques.
Of course! Thanks for subscribing and reaching out! I still think black would look good with your interior colors, but totally up to you. I have the tan and grey interior.
Great video! I was looking at that kit, do you think it would be possible if I cut off my old leather, and could cut the new leather so I could keep my wood exposed?
Colton, yes this would likely work if you have straight cut lines and you’ll want to add extra adhesive around the spots that transition to the wood grain.
Hey Matt. If I had to do it all over I would have sanded the emblem a little smoother before painting as the uneven sanding showed. I had to re-sand it and paint over it. Other than that, I love the way it looks and is a nice clean look for the interior.
Hey @Digital_06, thank you for subscribing to the channel! There will be plenty of new GX videos rolling out this fall...so something to look forward to! I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either 470 or 460! They both look great and are very capable/reliable vehicles. I'd say whichever one you can find the best deal on would be the one to get.
Thanks for reaching out Dylan! Also thank you for sharing this video in the GX Facebook group! 🙏🏻 I’m not sure how it would hold up on the dash. My initial thoughts are yes, but I haven’t tested it in extreme heat conditions. It’s holding up well on my steering wheel, but I always use a sun shade, so it doesn’t see extreme heat.
Have you ever done anything to the dash of the Gx 470? All your fixes are pretty neat, I was just wondering…Mine is cracked like every single one of them…
Thanks Rolando! Thankfully my dash wasn’t cracked when I bought, so I have not done any dash mods. I do see people in the GXOR Facebook group posting solutions for cracked dashes. Some completely replace and other post dash covers from different companies. Hope this helps!
Thanks Anthony! Yes, radio still works great…haven’t made any mods to it yet. I have a 170 degree HD backup camera arriving soon that I plan to make a video about.
Keep me posted. I want to place one in my LX 570 2009. I lost the link to the product. Do you still have it? Also. Did you have to add extra cables etc.

Hi, I’ve been watch you channel ever since you started making GX videos. Great info! I’m curious to find out how the paint on your steering wheels is holding up?
Hey Le Rhone! Wow, thank you for watching my videos, I greatly appreciate your support! 🙏🏻 The steering wheel paint is holding up great still and I’m loving the look of it.
Nice video. Definitely gonna do this when I get my GX. Are you in the Tampa/St Pete area? I think I recognize that spot where you shot your B roll haha
Hey Casey, thanks for reaching out! Definitely recommend this as it made such a difference in the driving experience. I’m actually on the East coast of Florida near Cocoa Beach.
Hey guys curious to know if a newer Lexus steering wheel can just be swapped out with my old leather torn GX470 steering wheel. Is it as simple as removal and plug and play?
I'm not sure about the newer steering wheels, but I have seen some people put Camry wheels into their GXs. The GXOR Facebook page had some good posts on this.
@@Awesomoto Also, thanks for doing all these videos. Your taste is spot on when it comes to chosing the right upgrades for the GX. I'm an original owner of a 2008. It has 206,000 miles and I love it so much. Drives like new still. I just want to chip away an some upgrades to bring it up to today a bit. Just put some Willwood brakes on the front. Amazing braking now. Question, did you do the Phoenix upgrade with your existing nav? That's the upgrade I'm most neverious about since my AC and everything currently runs thru my center screen. I don't want to create a nightmare for myself.
Thanks for reaching out! 🙏🏻 Yeah I upgraded my head unit from the nav setup so everything run through the touch screen for climate controls. I was worried about it failing, but I haven’t had any issues. It’s a little clunky at first, but I like it now. Some may not like the touch screen controls though.
Subbed, I have a 09 GX470 and hate the tan interior. Just finish watching your boot replacement. Do you think you'll ever paint your dash, carpet and door cards with that SEM paint?
Thanks for subscribing Kevin! 🙏🏻 I was also not a fan of the tan interior…it’s grown on me a little with some of these upgrades though. It definitely crossed my mind to paint the interior with that paint. I’m just worried I’ll mess it up and regret it later. lol
Awesome video and awesome mod. I am about to go this exact route. My question is what do you do once you reach the end of the spoke. Do you tie it off and make another knot and start from scratch at the other end of the spoke?
Hey Kaiser! As always, thanks for reaching out and being an engaging subscriber! 🙏🏻 Hey, you can’t beat a Walmart wheel cover. It gets the job done and requires no stress/hassle!

@@kaisarsaleem8422 I should have mentioned in the vlog, but all the music in this video is new stuff Max made. Figured I’d switch up the beginning of the video to feel more “day in the life” vlog style. I really do need to get an AC setup in there…that would be amazing!
I almost spit out my coffee reading your comment lol. Isopropyl is strong and I was reminded of it last weekend when the 91% pulled up the paint on my garage floor when I let it sit too long.
LOL Victor! I would do it for a reasonable price, but I don't want the liability of working on someone else's car lol. BUT, I do have confidence that you can tackle these mods pretty easily with some time and patience. You can always reach out with questions if you get stuck. You can message me on Instagram.

Great mod, it looks great. Thanks fir the video! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Andre! 🙏🏻
Great job! Thanks for making video!
No problem Felipe! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@21:55 😂😂 random huge bugs get me the same way
😂 I totally forgot about this scene! That big scared the crap out of me! 😂
Looks amazing btw
Is that mud all up the side where the seatbelt connects over the shoulder? I love it
lol yeah that’s from vlog 34 mudding 😂
Nice work! You give me hope thinking I could actually sew something! Looks great.
Thanks Lawrence! 🙏🏻
I’m glad it gives you hope, because it’s honestly not bad and worth the effort!
I like your style instinct.. not sure I’ll modify mine a ton but if I do it’s going to look exactly like your truck 😂
lol thank you! I’m a big fan of the look on the steering wheel and still so happy about it.
@@Awesomoto are you still happy with plastic dip wheels/grill? I’m also considering plastic dip the wood interior haha
@@jambangoni My wheels came black and I switched to the Garage Alpha grill about 2 years back.
Came out amazing! I'm gonna try it now
It’s well worth the time sewing the cover on as it makes a drastic improvement in the steering wheel!
Thanks Jaime! 🙏🏻
Where can you buy the stickers
Great video! I was looking at that kit, do you think it would be possible if I cut off my old leather, and could cut the new leather so I could keep my wood exposed?
Colton, yes this would likely work if you have straight cut lines and you’ll want to add extra adhesive around the spots that transition to the wood grain.
Thinking of doing this with my steering wheel. If you had to do over again, would you do this again? How durable is it? Any chipping, fading, etc.?
Hey Matt. If I had to do it all over I would have sanded the emblem a little smoother before painting as the uneven sanding showed. I had to re-sand it and paint over it. Other than that, I love the way it looks and is a nice clean look for the interior.
Really enjoyed your videos,my GX470 stering wheel needs ate ntion badly.
Thanks Craig! I can say this steering wheel cover really made mine much nicer.
3years later. Is it still feeing nice? Not sticky. And not smearing ?
Can we get an update
Looks great man !!!! 🤘🏼👍🏻⭐️
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Headlights homie!!
Can you feel the tape through the wrap??
Hey Dakota! No the tape is extremely thin compared to the leather and suede so you can’t feel it.
New subscriber here! Great content! Thinking about picking up either a gx470 or gx460!

Did the paint hold up or did it start flaking?
Sorry for the delay in responding. The paint is holding up great and as long as you aren't taking a sharp object to it, you shouldn't have any issues.
Nice job.Looks great. Tell me.. is the radio still working great. Are you able to upgrade and mod it.
