86 Camaro, would like a new steering wheel

I really like the look of the 90-92 with the airbag, and the 4th gen ones. Would those be a direct swap into my car? Obviously I don't need the airbag to work or anything like that

??? Your telling me that with all the steering wheels out there (ie Momo, Grant etc) that you prefer the 90-92 stock steering wheel with an airbag?
Ive never heard of such a thing. Your 1 in a million!

It would be cheaper to buy a used grant steering wheel on ebay than buy a factory used wheel.
Here's an example for less than $45:

Versus $70 for a used airbag wheel:

Re: 86 Camaro, would like a new steering wheel

The 90-92 steering wheels I believe look good in those year cars because of the dash change etc.. It wouldn't look good in an early 80's or late 80's camaro for that matter. I personally like the look of the 87 IROC steering wheel. I would buy a new or refurbished one. It compliments everything due to that generation. The air bag one just looks wrong for our early year camaros. Thats my opinion though. Do as you wish.
