Please read my first post entirely. Not to sound like a jerk, but I spent a ton of time typing that up and I don't want to type it twice.

I apologize, I was just anxious to get to the pics.

looks good. i'm not a fan of wood, as i like the CF in the FX4 package, but i also HATE ford's leather on the steering wheel. it always rubs or flakes off over time. i'd like to may be do a CF wheel like you have.

Yup, they do any kind of material or pattern you can think of.

I'll contact her for a complete price list as I forgot how much I paid. I believe it was something around $379 w/ $100 refundable core deposit.

I appreciate the words of thanks, I was starting to think everyone really doesn't care about the write-up.

Yes, the spokes are completely covered in leather, which I like A LOT.

I apologize for completely missing this question.

So far the wood has been on a month and I have no scratches what-so-ever. One could say this could be attributed to them not seeing any "weathering".

However, they have seen tons of rain (I had to leave the door open to let people in during a horrible down pour), snow, I've dropped my keys on the driver side one, my GFs rings on the passenger one, my watch on the steering wheel (every day); and there has not been one scratch at all! I'm very impressed with the "durability".

Yes they do. They can actually make it out to *any* pattern you could think of. They can definitely match OEM perfectly in shine, color, and pattern of the wood.
