Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question. I had my steering wheel done by B&I - I went with matte carbon fiber to match my other carbon fiber accents, but they have wood and metal and all kinds of cool material you can use. 
Here's a link:
Wood Dash Kits, Molded Dash Kits, Wood Steering Wheels, Chrome Rocker Panels and more by B&I the page is kind of a mess, you can also order on CarID at Ford Excursion Steering Wheels | Custom, Wood, Leather ? CARiD.com You might get a better idea of the available accents on CarID.
The quality is really nice and very clean. They do a great job and they even add grips at 10 and 2 which feel and look stock. The steering wheel is one of my favorite upgrades b/c the stock steering wheel deteriorates faster than Bill Cosby's reputation, it matches my other carbon fiber accents, matches the exterior color of my car and looks stock while adding a bit of pizzazz to the cabin.
If you get a new steering wheel, be sure to post here so we can see.
Happy stomping!

Thanks guys. So far I am super impressed with the BDS kit. From what I learned here I knew that the ride should improve with new springs, but actually feeling the difference first hand now is awesome. All the steering wander and sloppiness is gone and now I could cruise down the road with one finger guiding this monster.
That’s no joke about it being an addiction. I’ve barely had the tires/wheels on for a week and I’m already having lustful feelings for the next item (bumpers) on my list!

fordrookie, after installing the 6" kit, I initially did get some very slight "resonance" at about 75-80mph. However, it turned out my ujoints were going out so I replaced them and that cured it. I have had absolutely no other issues. IIRC you said your Ex is all stock so based on my experience, I wouldn't expect you to have any serious driveline issues with the 4" BDS kit.
