o.k. people i'm picking up another 3rd gen friday . it's a 91 r/s , primo condition . but it has YOUUUGLY condition airbag steering wheel . saw a GRANT wheel i like . any thoughts , feelings , hints for installation , horn button info. , any thoughts at all . thanks in advance . ( i know JamesC has a comment , yes it's 5 speed , no i won't need a crutch )
I had one on my 86. It was the four spoke. Black surround with the matte silver spokes. Looked great. I'm going to get one just like it for my IROC when I get to that point. Installation is pretty simple.
Just make sure you disable the airbag system before you start messing with the current steering wheel. It would suck for it to deploy while you where right there on top of it.

yes disable the air bag befoer you mress with it. grant now makes steering wheels that still use the air bag for some vehicles. i dont have an airbag so i cant tell y;ou for sure if they offer them for camaros
If inspection isn't a problem I'd say go for it. Just disable the airbag correctly and remove the light from the dash (personally I'd be afraid of an airbag that old anyway). I've had them on several cars over the years and love em. I have the 3 spoke 13 inch black kinda plain wheel on my 86 vette, also had it on my 89 rs, I love it and it isn't too bling bling looking. As far as the horn buttons, get the one you like. I had the standard grant button on my maro but went with the vette logo one when I put it on the 86. Very good quality wheels, the one I have now is about 10 years old and looks just as good as the day I bought it. Congrats on the new maro!
I have a GT 13in. 3 spoke wheel. I love it. Very good quality and feel. The smaller size took some getting used to
My only gripe is the sticker on the horn button. The glue they use doesn't hold very well.
same wheel on my car. same problem. my other car i had a different grant and the cushy wheel after sitting in the sun for a few years started detiorating.

What wheel are you guys refering to? The horn button on mine doesn't use a sticker.
I dont know the exact name. it just says gt in the middle. and the glue on bubble gt thing they put there peels up and came off. i was going to buy a bowtie button someday when i have nothing else to do to the car. but since everything keeps screwing up ill never get the chance.

ive never had a problem with the horn button, ive owned two grant steering wheels, a 3 spoke vinyl wrapped and a 3 spoke soft rubbery synthetic type grip stuff and i still have both little buttons and theyre in good condition. im willing to part with one if your interested.
anyways theyre good steering wheels, the only thing i dont like is the allen bolts that bolt the steering wheel to the adapter thing, they felt like they were gonna round off when i installed acouple of them
yea tom go with a grant, i love mine, you seen it the satin spokes and woodgrain grip, with the nice camaro horn button to....looks better than the GT on the original grant horn button
