I'm giving some thought to installing an aftermarket steering wheel in my S (leaning toward Personal Neo Grinta, but I'm not positive yet) and I'm curious as to what kind of a project I'd be taking on by replacing the stock steering wheel. I understand all the possible issues with my insurance company for having a car without a driver's side airbag, I'm just curious about the technical aspects of installing one. I know I'd need a hub adapter and am thinking the one Evasive Motorsports sells would be my best bet (can't remember which one it is and EM's website is being crap right now so I can't say off the top of my head). Would that let me mount pretty much any aftermarket steering wheel?

 

Fairly easy, just make sure you disconnect the battery before removing the air bag from the steering wheel. You don't want that going off accidently.

 

Cool deal. I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to automotive work, so is it alright if I ask you a few questions about it via PM? There are a few other things I'm curious about.

 

There is a DIY thread listed in the FAQ sticky in the under the hood forum.

 

I will have to check that out. Thanks!

 

If its the one from Rusler Firebrand, all the pics are no longer working. It's pretty straight forward. In my opinion, it's unsafe to put the steering wheel in without doing other safety stuff. If you're removing the airbag, you want to get aftermarket seats, a roll bar and harnesses IMO.

 

Yup, I noticed that the pics were down. Too bad, as it looks like a really thorough guide otherwise.

This is still something I'm just giving some very slight consideration to. There are a lot of other mods I want to do first for sure, so this will be down the road if I do it at all. I'm just trying to get as much info as possible so that I can determine whether or not it'll be worthwhile.
