Any pics of it on the car Kelso? I like Aftermarket wheels like the one you got looks pretty sick in those last two pics. But i dont think i can deal with rolling around with out a front airbag lol. It would take some getting use to.

i heard somewhere (not sure bc i cant confirm it) that the whole airbag system in our cars weighs close to 150 lbs. i am actually considering taking out my passenger one aswell. every person i know that has been in an airbag accident has been injured more by the airbag than the actual crash. the side curtain airbags are the most important imo.

and i dont feel like taking pictures of my wheel on the car. just wait till saturday to see it in person

does anyone think it'd be possible to use a spacer to space the stock wheel out? that'd retain all the wiring and airbag etc?

Well i saw kelso's wheel today in person, and held it. OMG, i want it lol. Its so sick. I think im going to start saving now. The only thing is, i would lose my paddles i think, unless i want to buy that kit but thats wayyy overpriced. Kelso, is there a good site i can go to, to find info and stuff?

haha thanks dude, i got all my steering wheel stuff from evasive motorsports. the website isnt much help. just call them and tell them what you are going for and they will list off the parts that you need. that would be so rad if you could find a kit that mounts the paddle shifters to the steering column!

there is a way to wire the plug to overide the air bag light. but in all honesty, its better just to take apart the gauge cluster and pop out the airbag light bulb because if you are going to get new seats, you will have this problem again.
