I'm just trying to decide how out of place this may look with my dated LT1 dash.
thanks, it would look great you just might have to alter the dash with some colors to match it that way it looks more factor but it would work.

I need the cage that houses the air bag so i can get the horn to work properly.
Is it possible to get the steering wheel buttons to work?

Im not to sure i think you will need the harness and clock spring in order for that to work. Im not sure if the clock spring will fit the 4th Gen steering column.

I'm guessing it can be done but I would have to get a steering column with the stereo controls function on it and mess around with it to see what pin out I would have to jump or rearrange to make it work.

I finally got my car back, and installed the wheel last night. It was late, so no daytime pics yet, but I did snap these.





The car needs to be cleaned, and the airbag needs some tlc, but I like it a lot. It felt great driving home last night.

Picked up a shaft from a 2010 express van over the weekend and also got a black stitched "leather" wheel and bag today from a Saturn something. I still need to get a 03-07 express van bag for the single stage swap. Also I need to get some button delete covers. It will prob be a while for me to find time to swap it all. Cant wait I propped a 3rd gen "Camaro" Wheel cap emblem over the saturn logo. Looks good, Ill have to mod it in

dang thats a nice looking wheel. Im in the process myself in getting my hands on a complete steering column from a 01 TA with the radio controls. I will try and figure out how to get the radio controls to work with my 2015 ZL1 steering wheel controls.

That would be awesome. I would love to see a pic of it on a 4th gen. I found another 3 spoke with paddles on it. Was thinking about grabbing the paddles off of it and using them for nitrous controls. Could make the top left one purge and the right one spray. Could use the rears to open or close the cutouts

It's plenty thick, and the feel is amazing. I like the flat bottom and the finger grips they added. The nice thing, is the radio controls will go right back in, and the airbag is still functional.







Looks great! I want to copy you lol

Yes, the radio buttons still work, as does the airbag and horn, just like factory.
