Regular Steering wheel to sports steering wheel

JXYOO · 02-10-2009, 08:35 PM

Im buying the sports steering wheel but is there anything else that i need? or can i just install it

Oh no...get prepared to do some shopping. Obviously you'll need the sports wheel. I recommend Tischer. You'll pay more than E-bay dealers, but the ones from E-bay DO NOT include the Airbag Bracket (much needed part.) Tischer will get you a sports wheel with the airbag bracket. Next you'll need the multi-function buttons (radio, volume, BT - you know what I am talking about.) I also purchased from Tischer as they are not expensive. You'll need the sports airbag. Yours will not fit. It's sometimes hard to ship airbags. Your local dealer can get it for you. They're pricey! Then you'll need the cover. I bought the "M" cover, cause it looks good. That's about it. Total cost around 2K...but my favorite mod....

There are pics floating around under the DIY for this job, but it's the metal bracket with plugs for the airbag. I made the mistake of buying a wheel off e-bay without this bracket. Luckily I sold it here to a guy with the sports wheel, who was just upgrading to the M wheel. Those parts are interchangeable.

$2K? With that much money, you could do other things that will be a lot more noticeable and worth it IMO

so i can't just buy that and put it on?

No, you would also need the airbag + bracket. possibly those little buttons too, I don't know if they are the same or not. The airbag on the non-sports steering wheel is different

and it would cost 2000?
