Quick JDM steering wheel question

[slammed98hatch]

Kind of a stupid question. But on this wheel:

Is the air bag (where the H) is, is that the gray color of some interiors? And is the wheel part black?? I just got this wheel last week, and I'm trying to figure out what color it is, to be sure it will match my interior color. I have the dark gray (type K) interior color. I didn't get a chance to take a look at the wheel, but at a quick glance at home, it looked all black. Also, mine is minus the controls on the right that are pictured on this wheel.

Anybody offer up some color help!!

anybody? somebody?

The airbag plastic is black, it just looks lighter because it's not as deep and rich of a color as the leather. I have the black RSX Type-S wheel, which is identical, except for the stitching and the H.

thanks eran. what color interior is your car?? does the black wheel look bad compared to the dark gray interior? I have the type k (dark gray) internior, and I can't figure out whether I want to keep the wheel or not.

It looks really close. The black ties in nicely with all the black civics have on their dash (climate control, cupholders, cluster, etc). I pained my column shroud with Duplicolor black trim paint, and it helps the matching quite a bit.

Hmmm. Nice idea Eran. Do you happen to have any better pics beside the one posted above? it's kind of dark. I know that the color of the air bag isn't dark black, cause that's why I had to post up and ask, because it looked black, but then it also looked grayish. Even the one above (with the red H), it looks almost close to the gray of the interior and not black.

His interior is dark grey (color code K) too.

And I've seen his wheel too, it's black. All of it. It might look lighter since it's not leather like the outer piece is. So the airbag section might not look as rich as the outer section.

originaly it is black. probably faded a bit. my did. had mine for like 4-4.5yrs and it is faded in the middle. more twards grey than black. still looks good tho. still not many people have the dc5r wheel. one guy argued with me about its othenticity. i just told him, "its sittin infront of ek9 type r gages and next to a vti cliamate control...its real'

I take it thats an integra wheel.
Looks loads better than the standard 4 spoker. did you get it new or out of an integra?
