Default new style steering wheel conversion
is it possible to install a newer style 2000-2002 steering wheel in a 1998-1999 camaro ss beacuse ive seen alot of good deals on 98-99 camaro ss but i dont like the older steering wheels and i dont want to pay 2-4k diffrence for a steering wheel.

Are the ones your looking at equiped with Steering Wheel controls or not? If so you can just switch out the controls. If now, you'll need to make sure the wiring is there for the controls on the new wheel.

yes you can do that, i just did it in mine. in order to get those audio controls to work you need to run wire through your steering column and hook them into your radio. your better off just buying a column from a wrecked car, so you wont need to mess with it.
