I know, I know. I bought those floor mats a long time ago and need to get rid of them. They didn't even add 1 hp! Yes, I'm joking. Representing Albany, Ga.

u live in albany! thats like a 40 min drive from my house, i am down there all the time. i know some guys down there too. maybe we can meet up and u can show me that wheel sometime.
Someone had an s2k wheel installed, but never wired the airbag. I think he finally gave up and went for a RSX/ep3 wheel instead. Rewiring an airbag without knowing exactly what you are doing just doesn't sound safe. Although if you find the right way to do it, there will be MANY interested people around here!
Ehem, that would be me DAng i remeber trying to figure this ish out and its installed to my car for months.... and i just realized its not worth bypassing wires specially when it comes to airbags. that can blow up any minute when your driving and thats a no go. so i end up going for EP3, haha lovin it... but i really miss that s2000 steering. but then agian, i made money out of it, got the s2000 for 280 and sold it for 400 welps, good luck! if you where able to bypass the cel (and not by putting electrical tape over it) let us know!

tuningmycivic, sorry but I didn't take any pics as the Honda tech installed it. My cruise control is fully functional though. The only real difference is the wheel from the S2k only had a 2-button cruise control whereas our civics have a third "cancel" button. However, the cruise control can easily be disengaged by either lightly tapping the brakes or clicking off the cruise button over by the coin holder.
drunkenmagnum, it would be cool to meet up sometime in Albany. Just let me know when you would want to do it. Some car guys meet almost every Saturday night at the Sonic by Walmart on Ledo road, so we could meet up there if you wanted. Just let me know.
DaMadScientist is right on the money. I wasn't aware the S2k airbags were single stage from 99-03, and then dual stage from 04+. If I could go back in time, I would have bought an 04+ because it would have been plug and play. You can wire a 99-03 up to be fully functional, as I have proven, but I would recommend getting an 04 or newer bag just because it's a hell of a lot easier to install.
oh yea no doubt skunk2....the 04+ also have a little redesign of the honda emblem, you know when its a 04+ when the H in the middle is square and not round...but looking good none the less
Quick question...if you were to remove those cruise control buttons...does it leave a hole in the steering wheel or is it kind of an add-on

*note to self* 04 s2k wheel is a bolt in affair...
hey josh (drunkenmagnum), i was thinking of driving down to Atl end of the month, I got a class to go to in Buckhead. maybe we could get together then? i'd like to see this wheel as well.....
If you removed the cruise control buttons on my S2k wheel, it does leave a hole....not a gaping hole, but it's not covered without it. However, it may or may not be different with the 04+ S2k wheel.
nah, uncle sam's footing the bill so i can work on my CCNP certification, but i'm driving down on sunday the 29th, i'll let you know something later that week. maybe chill at hooters or the varsity or something like that during the week...
I was gonna go thru my subscribed threads to find you and PM you to make sure you saw this. Just been crazy busy at work.
haha. thanks bro. now some1 actually manage to bypass DUal to Singel ... i would actually get the 04 but i prefer the 01-03 s2000 design. but i'll just stick to my EP3 red stiching.. matches my red gauge meter
