Still working on mine. But here it is as it stands.

 

damn dude, i'm impressed. that looks good. what did you get the black window and other switches from? i like that. i dont think i would want another stock radio, although i finally, after two years got an aftermartk HU, but it looks good never the less.

 

damn ive got to get my cpu back up so i can get my pics uploaded.

 

Here are some of mine, a bit has chaged and i will update later!

I added an Interceptor gauge besides my Autometer D-PIC gauge. I will post them soon.

 

Thats not an f-body steering wheel either.
Is that steering wheel also out of a Vibe?

 

not sure if anyone noticed the console was modified.......... the little hole is gone

 

New pics of mine

The window switches are straight outa the Camaro . There smaller , so I did have to recontour the bezel with fiberglass to fit the smaller switches . The mirror button , headlight switch ( dimmer is from a camaro ) , fog light switch , and hvac buttons all were painted with a color matched Dupont interior paint with a gun . With flex additive , and hardener it was MUCH more durable than a spray can . I never had a issue with the peeling or wear .

No it isnt . Its from a 2004 Bonneville . In 04 the Bonneville updated to all black switches so that was pretty convienient . I went with this wheel because the rim is ALOT fatter than the puny stock steering wheel rim and it looks like it could be stock , its the same diameter too . The center hole is different though , its a smaller metric splined hole . The upper steering shaft from the bonnevile , thankfully swapped right over to the F-body column .

 

I hope those bolts aren't permanent.

 

For now they are. The thingies that came with the pod are kind of weak. They are stainless steel bolts....kind of like them BTW. They kind of combine with the aluminun accents!!!

 

Awesome info. I may look into doing the mod this winter. I like the way that looks, and a nice fat steering wheel is awesome.

Did you buy the wheel and upper shaft from a dealer? What did you do about the air bag? I found a wheel on ebay, but its got no cover or air bag; $100 bucks

Is the fbody and bonneville air bag the same? I would assume its not...

 

Interested in this too. Looks like good mod. Any more info I would truly appreciated.

 

I'm with them! ^^ I made a post a while back about wanting to put the new Vibe steering wheel in to the car. something sportier lookin not this granny *** spaghetti wheel we got now. But i have NO idea how to go about doing it. I even asked the guys at my local pontiac dealership and they seemed as clueless as I was. lol Maybe even worse.

 

I have no clue if the Vibe wheel will work . Thats a toyota steering wheel . As far as where I got my upper steering shaft from . I got a good deal on a complete steering column from a 2004 grand prix which had the same shaft as well . Basically any 2002 or newer GM mid and full size car is gonna have this same upper shaft .

Cars that had this wheel in ebony , and also had leather with radio controls .
2000-2005 Bonneville
03-newer Azteks
03-newer Montana vans

If you have a 99 or older TA the 2001-2003 Grand prix's had the same wheel in graphite

For the airbag , I got a airbag on ebay out of a 04 Aztek for $50 . The inflator is removeable . IT just unbolts , unlike ours that are riveted on . No chance of the bag ever going off , plus all the weight of the bag is in the inflator . This wheel and bag are alot lighter than stock .

To get it cheaper look for the less popular cars , cuz your gonna pay more for the exact same wheel , if its got Bonneville SSEi on it over say a Montana or Aztek .

So basically I need the complete column in order to get the shaft unless i find the wheel and shaft wich it'll be more difficult. How about the radio controls, is that a direct swap also?

 

Well the newer pontiacs, including the new g6 actually share a similar if not the same steering wheel. So thats where I got the idea.



Any clue if that or a similar wheel is compatible? I dont really know much, I just know I dont like the wheel I got now. lol

 

damn, i really like the black buttons. i'm just fine with the stock steering wheel, i actually find it very comfortable but i do like the button idea

 

I'll have a new custom feature to post pics for in the next few weeks, I'm currently working on a fiberglassed headliner that will have my headunit's faceplate molded into it, and the whole thing will be covered in black vinyl.

 

I'd say the tops would go to the matching black spiral notebook with red top stripe. Nice.
