Why not get a 2001 wheel? Maple won't match. Someone adapted a QX4 wheel.

Personally, I prefer wood or leather wheel. Both is a Lexus induced affectation.

You'll have to try it. I know the QX4 wheel required some extra work on the cosmetics.

i got the air bag to work fine, just not the car yet...

the connections are the same from 90 to 2001, possibly more, but thats my experience. id imagine it would be the same tho?

best bet. call scottsdale and them to check it out for you. they may have both bags in stock.

good luck!
