You can have airbags with the RSX and Type-R ones. Even though ours is dual stage I know a work around to get it to work, even without swapped to normal civic si airbags

I've been wanting to do this for a while now it's just that I don't know what to do with the cruise control buttons or wires for that matter.

Im using the Sparco Mugello wheel and it feels very nice but the problem with this is that the top and bottom is suede and it wears down

Momo Corse is a beautiful wheel if you decide to ditch airbag.

okay might be a really stupid question.. but here goes anyway.
with the new inspection in NY, they plug right into the computer
and check for any errors that show up on the car, if they do you fail.

so how would you get around that using a aftermarket steering wheel then ?
i wanted to get a momo one but now im having second thoughts ?

sorry for hijacking the thread..
