well there are a couple of options. First off, the steering wheel itself would be an easy switch, but here comes the tricky part.

1. 7thgen = Dual Stage, ITR = Single Stage
2. Take EP3 airbag assembly and swap it into the ITR grip
3. I've heard of people using a resistor for the second stage wiring and it working that
way.
4. Just swap it and be done, who cares about the airbag, lol

thanks drew... yea i had found out that most people dont use their airbag when they swap... but i want a functioning one ... i'll see when i get home, i'm gonna look around a couple junkyards and see if i could find one if not then i'll think more about doing the itr swap or maybe just redoing the ring on the stock one and putting the red sticker like you did, but we'll see.... oh yea the car's looking great hope you're not pissed at me for getting the same rims as you...

I'm not mad, its just you took the price from the wrong wheels and took it to Steve and told him I told you that price, which is not what I done. But o'well, nothing i can do now. I could careless who has my wheels.

do what i did. it's easy, but most people dont have the ***** to do it. unbolt your stock detonator, unbolt the old detonator. swap them. done. the 7thgen detonator is NOT a direct fit as the backing to it is too large and will require you to bend the horn tab on the ep3 horn bracket. if you have a usdm ep3 or dc5 bag you can swap it straight up with no problems. I basically forced mine to work. the wheel i had had a damaged bag, but the cover was 100% intact. so i unpacked it and put my oem detonator in there for one reason: I wanted to keep the airbag system functional. Not for myself, but for my passanger. Screwed up logic, but whatever. the way i see it, my passanger shouldnt have to suffer the consequences of me wanting a 'prettier' steering wheel.
