Rep Power: 372 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

Rep Power: 0 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.

Rep Power: 257 Thats a good one!
I like Momo Monte Carlo. I'm trying to find one localy, but I'll consider any Momo wheel, including Corse.

Rep Power: 292 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 ?

i have a aftermarket wheel and i got my car inspected. you just will not be able to sell it without a airbag. it will pass with just the srs light on
