The wheel and bag are easy to pull, as for the Cruz, you can relocate it to somewhere else.
If you drive the car with no air bag then it will throw a code. There is a fix to that but, I

I was under the impression the splines are what stops everyone. Did you come up with a fix?

Ya...A big hammer
It's a lot of work, not something you can do in your garage

Any air-bag from any S2000 will work with the VGS wheel

i think there is a momo hub that will trick the computer to think there is an airbag in there, so the SRS light will not be on. with those you do loose the cruise control though
