| Well after much thought I finally figured out what interior mod had to be done first. Not being able to find any dislikes on my CCW, come to find out it has been sitting in front of my face the whole time. The BIG AIRBAG steering wheel is now gone and after gathering ideas from everyone I decided to go old school. Some like the thicker wheels, some smaller, leather, wood, etc etc etc, I like the feeling of the thin plain original Caprice logo wheel. No need for a spinner knob, just a pinky finger and turn away. And another plus is that I found a dashboard behind the airbag. [img]  [/img] | |

| Thank you guys for the complements. After deciding that old school was the route to take, of course I could not find a wheel to fit my taste, not at the JY or online. Saw this one on ebay after weeks of looking and it was the gold/wood trim that really sold me on it, it had classic written all over it. | |

| The gold ring is a perfect match to your dash and door trim,mind saying how much you paid and did you put in a resistor to keep your airbag warning light off? |

| As for the airbag light, I pulled the wire down from column, pulled the indicator bulb and harness off the sensors up front. Maybe some overkill but I plan on keeping my CCW so i'm not worrying about any issues down the line. And I was lucky enough to get it for $30 + $10 shipping, and I messaged seller before hand about the condition he guaranteed me a 9/10 or he would refund complete price. | |

| After you get rid of the airbag, the interior looks a lot cleaner. The airbag has always been obstruction to viewing the instrument cluster. Having a thinner, lighter wheel makes you feel like you are in a sportier car. I think the steering wheel gives the car its character. I like the wheel.
