I was wondering if this wheel would swap out for mine. Its from an 01 and I have a 98, and if its not a direct swap, what problems would I have??

I'd love to know too. I'm watching that one on eBay.

For one thing, I'm not sure whether the radio controls could be made to work, although I replaced my head unit with a Pioneer DVD, but I'd love to have the partial wood wheel on mine too.

I wonder what a custom auto upholstery shop would do it for?

Where did you find the steering wheel?

How do I remove the steering wheel?

I did this conversion and it will fit but the panels that cover the bolt locations dont quite fit if you're using the '98 panels. Also you'll need to get a air bag from the year of the steering wheel because a '98 air bag will fit but wont look exactly the way it's supposed to. you'll need a steering wheel puller to take the old one off.
