Steering wheel swap Did anyone ever swap out the stock steering wheel for something else, say a steering wheel from another GM vehicle? I wanna keep my airbag for safety reason that why I said "a steering wheel from another GM vehicle". I'm kinda like to my Grand Prix steering wheel coz the airbag is not as big as F-body.
Anyone?
Anyone?

Is 98-99 different than 01-02? I really don't like the my 99 Bird's steering wheel. The airbag is way too big. But the horn buttom is way too small. I can get a Grand Prix steering wheel and airbag for cheap. That's why I asked. I just wanna make sure it'll work b4 I tear everythign down.

I'll post pic later today, going to zoo with my wife.
Let me explain, in my GP, the whole airbag will horn no matter where I push in. I always hold my steering wheel at 8 o'clock position. I can just push the airbag with my thumb to horn at 8 o'clock position.
But in my bird, I HAVE TO push the exact little horn icon on the airbag to horn, which located in between 9-10 o'clock position. I experience so many time that when I need to horn, it doesn't because 8 o'clock position doesn't work. After I move my hand back to the correct spot, it's too late I already avoid the situation.

i agree with what youre saying. you might be able to use a GP or grand am steering wheel, but youll need to see the bolt pattern. chances are the bag itself uses a similar signal, but you might want to read the electrical layout of the system first.
Ive been trying ot find a suitable wheel for my camaro with a chevy logo, not a pontiac one. the corvette one wont work because believe it or not, they never came with stereo controls. you pontiac people are lucky, you have more options.
