'99 spec nardi steering wheel installed with pics
This wheel feels and looks so much better than the stock one and the airbag works too. Thanks to phatmanbud for the installation.

Only if you want more (complicated) controls than you can ever use or figure out... I'm a Pioneer Premiere guy myself. Everything you need, nothing you don't, all in an extremely simple yet precise layout

It's smaller by 10mm. Stock one is 380mm vs 370mm for the nardi.

It was easy for Phat because he did it before. Basically, you have to remove the 3 10mm bolts behind the wheel which hold the airbag in place. After that, disconnect the airbag harness which will reveal a big center nut that holds the steering wheel in place. You kind of have to muscle the steering wheel out but it should not be a problem. Cut the airbag harness from the old bag and splice it into the new bag. The old bag has a red and gray wire and the new bag has both red wires but that is not a problem since an airbag didn't blow up in my face when the harness was reconnected. Put new wheel on and tighten with the big nut. Phat can elaborate on some parts but I think that was the bulk of it.

I'm assuming they work cuz the srs light does not blink at me. I have a oem recaro rz seat for my driver side and the stock suede seat for my passenger. My other RZ seat should be coming in about a month or so. I'll take pics of my seats when I put the other one in.
