Get the 99 SE steering wheel. I like ther steering wheel alot.

 

I like the idea that you thought of converting the whole car.

 

I bet it comes out somewhat cheaper than buying a real SE-L =x

 

ya it has been a lot cheaper since a buddy of mine works down at the yard. I want a tan se-L preferated leather steering wheel.

 

Whoa... speechless

 

97-99 all SE steering wheels are teh same, black.

 

then a tan preferated

 

pics, pics please !!!

 

Yep, all 97-99 SE steering wheels are perforated leather...at least if the interior is leather, probably for the cloth interior too.

-99 se-L digital gauges
-99 se-L ignition illumination light w/ simulated chip

^What's the difference between the SE-L gauges and ignition ring/chip? I'm very curious.

 

you missed the best thing the 97+ SE has the steering rack

 

you and me both.

 

Thats a lot of work to go thru, It would be cool but to me i guess it wouldnt be worth it. If i could i would swap my 95 se steering wheel for a 97-99 se steering wheel and also change my dash to the 97-99 one. Also do the trunk and front bumper conversion In all i give you props for doing it.

 

wow talk about a whole new car!! you will be one happy person when completed!

 

gauges are a titanium color and the ignition ring is bigger to allow for the chip ring.

 

how much was all of this??

 

Keep it up man...can wait to see it all done.

 

OK, thanks. The ring must be identical to the 99 ring because the 99 also has a chip.

 

not sure how much everything has cost a couple hundred there about
