The steering columns on 3rd and 4th gens look exactly the same. So they might fit?

I could never understand why people like that big ugly airbag wheel. That's my biggest complaint about the 4th gen interiors.

I can't understand why people are so against a stock wheel? most aftermarket wheels look cheap in comparison........i'd rather leave them to the arcades. i for one love my 91 steering wheel, but in may the car will be 12 years old and it's begining to show. I like things that look like they belong.........to get a new wheel from the factory it's alot more than a 4thgen because of the lack of stock in that item obviously.

personally, i want my stock wheel; but if i can make a 4thgen fit for half the price and it will look similar then i'm ok with it. again, it's just an idea.

Yea, I agree. Someone needs to give this a try. I've been looking for a leather wrapped steering wheel for my 91, but can't find one. Dealer I think wants close to 400.

300 for the wheel alone ion............

or you can have one custom wrapped for 6.

or you can make a 4thgen fit, if it does, for 50 or so bucks.
