I just ordered a 300mm Momo, have used while in Japan a 320mm Momo on all of my Hondas back there. Looking forward to the 300.
About the airbag, in my old 5R Integra it deployed on me once because some lady decided for some reason that my car was not where it was and turned right into my front drivers side, I tried to avoid going left up into an entranceway, but still she hit me and my bag deployed blocking my vision. I just remember trying to slap the thing away as I was heading for more damage with poles cemented into the ground. I stopped about 2 feet away from the poles. In my case the airbag did nothing for me at all and was more of a hinderance. I am not against safety, but at the same time I hate the preaching done by some and the government. If governments would actually not let people drive until they prove they actually can, all of these bloated down cars with safety features would not be necessary.
So to each their own, if you want your airbag so be it, but please don't preach to others about it. How long have cars not had airbags, how many traffic deaths still occur even with airbags today?

I'm not saying anything about you or anyone else who chooses to replace their steering wheel that they are wrong. I'm just saying your argument about airbags is poor in that airbags are indeed effective for what they are meant to do.
