2nd post today. Not much work getting done here..

Anyway, I have a 96 SE w/ tan leather and a crappy looking brown steering wheel.

Will the later model steering wheels fit my car. Is it much of a hastle (Airbag, cruise wiring etc.). I was hoping to go with a black leather wheel from a 97-99.

Thanks again.

 

The airbag computer in your car may not be able to recognize and/or operate the newer style airbag in the newer wheel...

 

the wheel will fit, and i don't think the computer has any problems recognizing the new equipment. but the big thing is you have to get a whole new setup for the airbag, which means big $$$. many people around here have done this before. search around and you'll find lots of info on this.

i wish it were easier, i'd love to get rid of my square-looking wheel as well. it's the most hideous part of the 95-95 cars.

 

oops...i mean 95-96 year models.

 

It is possible to edit your previous post...you don't have to post your correction.

 

Yes But you do need to change everything, including airbag. Read and enjoy the link below;

you know, i figured there might be a way to do that, but i was too lazy to look around. i guess it's that big green link that says 'edit/delete message,' the one that's right in front of me.

thanks for the tip!

(check it out, i even figured out how to edit this post! hehehehe...)
