Nardi Classic Wood Steering wheel question
 

So I have been looking to buy a nardi wood steering wheel and I have run into a couple that is confusing me and I made me wonder are there more then one finish of the nardi wood steering wheel? I've found some where the descriptions and picture just said wood grain/ wood steering wheel but then i ran into another one that said mahogany wood are there are more than one wood finish? please let me know i don't want to buy a fake nardi classic wheel also if anyone has any recommendation on which site to buy a authentic one please speak up.

You're not going to put that on a modern car, right?

There are some fakes ones running around. There is a vid in Youtube.

lol I second that...:ughdance:

yes i am combining modern with some classy old style ;)

You crazy beast! :roflpuke2:

:inoutroflpuke: post up some pics when done

thats like putting an 8track player in the car... just because you can doesn't mean you should...

Please don't put that in a Z.

No no no..

i will join in with the begging to not put this in a z....

i love the nardi classic steering wheels, but it just isnt for the 370. i wanted one in my 77 rabbit, but ended up selling it. if i had to pick a steering wheel for the 370, it would have to be a personal steering wheel.

this in yellow stitching or red.

Those wheels are nice by themselves, but I don't see how that would work in a 370. I have seen someone try it in one of the new retro Mustang interiors and it didn't even work at all...

Definitely share some pics if you go through with it though... I'm curious (and scared) to see how it looks!

haha guys trust me it will look nice in my opinion. I don't want the track look for my car, if I did I would put the leather nardi wheel on but when I get it done ill be sure to post pics here are some in a 350z.

I'm sure that if a 350z can pull it off a 370z can because our interiors are very similar.

Yeah, it'll work in a 370Z... as long as you get Louis Vuitton interior bits.
Actually, I vote for Burberry plaid.

To be honest, I'm thinking about a wooden steering wheel in my Miata. But I'm also going to pull out the Sparco seats, go with tan leather and a wood dash kit if I go that route.

pull it off? maybe. drive the car without the driver and passenger convulsing and vomiting everywhere? impossible

IMO, doesn't even look good in those pictures and those dildo shift knobs look ridiculous. Old styling doesn't fit in the 350Z or 370Z. And if you didn't want the track look in your car, then you bought the wrong car. There's nothing retro in the 370Z apart from the body looking more like the 240Z.

:iagree:

well if you really want to buy a authentic nardi steering wheel, try crowderscustomizing.com

For some reason I looked at those pictures again.
In addition to the out of place wooden steering wheel, LV trim and plastic dildo knob, there's also a Crown Royal bag for a shifter boot? Now we're talking class!
With taste like that, one has to ask why the owner of this car settled for Nankang tyres.

Big pimpin!!!

:bowrofl:

I have purchased a few Momo steering wheels (1 for my 240 and another for my former 280zx) from these guys. They are excellent from a price and service perspective.

You guys can bash on the set up all you want. IMO any car can be turned into a classy VIP style look even sports car. I don't want to jump on the band wagon and give my car a track look.

also crown royal shift boots and bubble knobs are sweet. just saying ;)

Of course, it's your car after all. We're all just saying, the 370Z is a sports car so I'm not seeing how it's a "bandwagon"...and I don't agree with any car can be turned into a classy VIP look. That's why "classy" higher end cars exists like the BMW, Lexus, etc...That's like saying you can turn a Neon into a classy car.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there is one thing that 350 is not, classy. It looks like something a flat bill snoop dog wanna be would drive. ghetto... Not classy.

When I'm in the VIP, I'm doin' better than Crown and I certainly don't ask for the felt bag as a souvenir.
I doubt you'll convince any of us here to get on board with your sense of style when it comes to modifying your car, but it's your car and you're the only one who has to like it.
That said, enjoy!

That looks like the hairstyles in the 70's. It looked like crap then and still does today.

Ummm, the Z is not a Bentley, a Rolls or even a '57 Chevy. These are the things I think of when I think classy.

Are you serious, or posting just to stir things up? :stirthepot:

If you are planning on doing this, unless you have the persimmon interior, I think the mahogany will look better than the tan.

That said... not my taste, but to each their own... one man's meat is another man's poison.

Honestly if any of you are into the stance scene like stance nation, stay stetti, or stance works you would see that class can come from all angles not just from high end cars. You would understand where I am coming from, but this thread honestly got side tracked. I only wanted to ask a simple question if the wood on the nardi classic wheels come in different finishes. Apparently a bunch of narrow minded, middle age men had to come stir up problems with their negative opinions.

I'm 24, got my 370 when I was 23. Honestly I think Stance Nation and their friends do a good job of publicizing exactly what you should NOT do to a car. Some of their cars look really good and make me drool, but some of their cars make me cringe. A slammed S2000 every now and then is cool, but the stretched tires and caved in wheels make deceased Japanese engineers turn in their graves. The Z's have a very developed style, it doesn't surprise me that almost nobody feels a wooden steering wheel belongs in it.

That'll get people to see things your way.
Full of win!

Here is a car from Stance Nation that I actually do love, and it belongs to one of our own members: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...370z-post.html

lol I'm not near middle age anytime soon. Stance Nation's philosophy is Form > Function, yea totally against that for me.

Again, so as stated, class can even come from a Neon? :bowrofl: Let's put some curtains, dildo knobs, nasty negative camber, over stretched tires, and scraping the crap out of the under body. Totally classy. Oh, I bet VIP or "bippu" is another one of those fads like going "JDM"

Narrow minded middle age men...hmm tasteful mods or even stock is what separates the men from the boys.

This is what it boils down too. When your young. You will do outlandish things to your cars, (because you can) and are willing to put up with the short falls that come with it. Being having to work on it daily, making adjustments, fiddling with it. It's the trial and error way of learning. As you get older. You become more conservative, and put more thought into your mods. The reason being is that you want to do the mod only once with out having to do it over and over to get it right.

Give him time to get it out of his system. He'll come around. ;)

Narrow minded, middle age men have come to their opinions through years of observations and experience. Those mods look like crap. You will thank us later for telling you that grasshopper.
And what the hell is "the stance scene like stance nation, stay stetti, or stance works" ?
