Default Third Gen steering wheel on a 4th gen?

Can a third gen steering wheel fit onto a 4th gen? I have a 99 trans am and I absolutely love the third gen steering wheels.

If so, is it easy?

Thanks

Should be easy enough to do just lose your airbag and steering wheel controls. If i were gonna do that id try and find a wheel that was a little less dated looking but to each his own

I love the second generation steering wheel. Black with gold spokes. But not on a 4th gen or maybe yes

Im running a stock 2nd gen wheel in my 4th gen T/A. I just painted the center spokes body color, and I love it. It is way better to drive with than the big bulky stock T/A wheel. Here is the best pic I have

Thanks man.

Everything fits perfectly, you just have to fabricate your own horn wire which isnt very difficult

Which kit did you use to mount your steering wheel ( Manufacturer and part # ) ?

How did you deal with the issue of the airbag light after they were removed ?

Thanks !
