Steering Wheel Swap - 98 Camaro using 99+ Wheel?
As you know, some 1998 Camaros (mine included) came with the LT1 style steering wheel. This means no radio buttons and just a generally ugly wheel.
I can pick up a 99+ Camaro steering wheel for relatively cheap. I like these wheels much better.
My question is this: how easy (or hard?) is it to swap out the wheels and make the radio buttons and air bag fully functional?
I want to swap from this wheel:
To this wheel:
Thanks in advance!

Any ideas on the specifics? I will absolutely need to make the airbag and radio controls work like stock.

honestly it cant be THAT hard. i mean all you need is the steering wheel puller, and probably a rubber mallet. the hardest part would be running the radio wires, but i doubt that would even pose much of a problem. i plan on doing this after i buy my wheel, if no oe has done a write up on it by then ill do one.
