ok i cant remeber who it was so i just ask how many people have changed to a after market steering wheel with no air bag? has anyone had any problems with inspection and the fact that there is no air bag?

i never went through an inspection with mine, but as long as you dont get rid of the stock wheel... changing them is not a long process

I kinda like having an airbag, but maybe that's just me.

I wouldn't have stated that over a public forum... It just an aweful idea to take the oem steering wheel away, taking away safety features from an already marginal car is just asking to be killed in an accident.

What do you think cops patrol forums looking for seatbelt violators? LOL

you think your air bag is going to help you in an accident with no seat belt? you might as well get a racing wheel and weld knives to it while your at it

You will just eat windshield instead. Even with a lap belt. I know, not by choice. Rear impact first makes seat back and shoulder belt worthless. My head hit the windshield three times. Nothing more exciting than ditch tag @85 mph!

So? It's still a terrible idea. I don't understand why people won't wear a seatbelt. Is it just too uncool, or is the 2 seconds it takes to put it on too much bother? Whatever, it's your life.
