I hear ya. I have a friend w/ a black on black TL-S and I found the silver A emblem on the steering wheel really striking. While that probably wouldn't fly on a saddle interior, I can understand why you'd want it on an ebony interior MDX.
jgen said:Just wondering if all other '02 MDX owners have the same steering wheel. Simple single colour wheel with colour matched emblem in the centre.
I've seen pictures of the the '02 TL model wheel and wish my MDX came equipped the same. I've attached a link to show you all what I mean.

I think it is beautiful but the wood portion is rather slim once I got used to the full leather steering wheel.mogur said:...
The wood wheel is a dealer installed option but expensive and ugly in my opinion.
True. For many merchandise "look" is the product itself. I must say the wood also have a nice "feel" too. So.. it is "look" and "feel"... or "feel the look."GCK said:The wood steering wheel looks good..

Glad someone else brought this up - I'd never think of getting a smooth wood wheel or shift knob - for that very reason. Brrr! That heated wheel idea sounds great!RedMdxMemphis said:
Just to add comment to myselfthe wood steering wheel can be very COLD. With the icy weather we just have, I notice the wood portion basically is as cold as an ice stick. It can be a bit uncomfortable to use when you first get in the car.
I guess the opposite is also true.. during a regular or warm day, the wood portion gives a very nice touch and feel...
And here I was questioning my sanity. I agree w/ Ghost about the wood shift knob. That was the one thing keeping me from getting it--- seemed like it would be cold to the touch. But then again, I do wear gloves AND I do love the look of the wood knob. Ebay (or Tim), here I come!ghost said:

A good question for Tim? Tim if you are out there any possibility of getting for our 01/02 models or does it require replacing the entire wheel?sivaveera said:where can we find the steel acura emblem on steering![]()
