Guardian Designs Corsa Zero steering wheel installed!

[APBonABP]

Hey everyone!

One of the things I wanted for my Type S was a thicker steering wheel (and preferably one with a flatter bottom), but the existing aftermarket options were a little too much for my taste. So I reached out to Guardian Designs, who do my favorite wheels but didn't have one for the Integra, and they agreed to work with me on making their first wheel for it.

The install was pretty easy aside from getting the existing steering bolt out and I'm thrilled with the wheel itself! It's super comfortable and matches perfectly IMO, so I just wanted to share how it turned out.

Edit to add my customizations for anyone curious:
- Corsa Zero in 4-piece design
- Nappa leather top and bottom
- Perforated leather left and right
- Standard thumb rests with high seams
- GT thickness
- Bentley red stitching in signature pattern (Guardian Designs helped pick this color out and it matches pretty much perfectly)
- No grips
- No noon marker

Awesome, I have a Guardian Designs wheel on my Miata and absolutely love it. Mine’s pretty simple, seamless w/a noon marker in Napa leather. They make a great product and are very popular in the Miata world.

Can I ask you what that cost?

When I was shopping between the Miata and the ITS, one of the things that really influenced me towards the Miata was seeing all of the options Guardian Designs had for it, so when I reached out and they agreed to try and make one for the ITS, it helped seal the deal. I really love how clean this one looks (and all of them, really) and that's what steered (pun intended) me towards them over some of the other options out there.

Sure! As configured (Corsa Zero, 4-piece leather perforated on the sides and smooth top/bottom, high seams, GT thickness and no grips) it runs about 950 USD on their website. I ended up paying a little more (~1200 USD) to cover R&D for what ended up being a new product for them, but I believe they should be able to do future orders at the normal price. That also included everything except the center part with the airbag, so buttons, wires, and trim.
